What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The International Monetary Fund trimmed its growth forecasts for Latin America and the Caribbean for this year and next, according to its World Economic Outlook. The regional projection for this year was lowered to 2.3%, down from previous estimates. These downgrades are attributed to energy shocks stemming from the Middle East war, which has pushed Brent crude about 45% above its prewar level.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The energy shock has created a global inflation shock, resulting in higher fuel and power costs that are squeezing households and businesses across the region. The IMF noted that in Latin America, the impact depends on whether commodity exporters outweigh energy importers, and that technology gains offer little offset in most countries.

Latin America is identified as the International Monetary Fund's most indebted region, with Argentina holding the largest debt arrangement.
