Latam Charts: Indicators Dispel Uncertainty

• Economic indicators continue to point to strong growth in the Latam

region, reducing the uncertainty that had prevailed with respect to the

resilience of the recovery. Strong growth will soon restore output to its

pre-pandemic level—or has already done so.

• The big questions now concern the level and persistence of inflation,

and what it will take in terms of central bank tightening to contain price

pressures. Latam central banks have begun tightening, with additional

policy rates hikes on the way.

• At the same time, continued growth remains hostage to possible adverse

developments in the pandemic that could, for example, exacerbate

existing supply chain disruptions or propagate new bottlenecks.

KEY ECONOMIC CHARTS

Only a few months ago, uncertainty regarding the resiliency and the pace of

economic recovery hung over the Latam region. While Latam economies

experienced a rebound from the pandemic-induced contractions in 2020 (chart 1),

questions remained as to whether the recovery would be maintained. These

doubts reflected several factors; not surprisingly, the most important unknowns

related to the transmission and virulence of COVID-19.

Much of that uncertainty has dissipated. As additional data points on economic

activity have come in (chart 2), projected growth rates have been raised, and there

is growing confidence that output will soon return to pre-COVID-19 levels and,

indeed, has likely already done so in Colombia, where September indicators

provide a strong close to Q3.

Growth rates across the region are expected to moderate, however, as base

effects, which reflect the contraction in output early in the pandemic, wane.

Over 2022, growth is projected to broadly return to pre-pandemic levels. In this

regard, raising long-run potential output growth remains an important policy

challenge in terms of addressing long-standing development issues. And boosting

potential output would also have a salutary effect on inflationary pressures.

The Latam region, like the rest of the global economy, has experienced a

sharp rise in inflation as economies have recovered (chart 3). For the most

part, recent data releases underscore this trend: October numbers for Chile and

Mexico show inflation at 6% y/y, above the upper range of inflation targets, while in

Peru the most recent survey of 12-month inflation expectations by the BCRP

revealed expected inflation at 3.6%, above the upper limit of the central bank’s

target range for the third consecutive month. In Colombia, in contrast, October CPI

came in at 0.1% m/m, with a VAT holiday offsetting other price rises. While that

temporary measure may provide short-term benefits by containing year-end

indexation effects, our team in Bogota do not expect it to affect the central bank’s

tightening plans.

Price pressures are expected to be transitory, with inflation rates projected

to gradually decline in 2022 as temporary supply-side bottlenecks and

supply chain disruptions are corrected. But this forecast is contingent on Latam central banks following through on price

stability commitments to firmly anchor inflation expectations.

Central banks across the region have reacted by embarking on a tightening cycle to unwind the extraordinarily

stimulative monetary conditions introduced in the pandemic. Key policy rates have been raised across the region; the latest

increases coming in Mexico, where Banxico raised its policy rate 25 bps on November 11, and Peru, with the BCRP hiking its

policy rate 50 bps, also on November 11. Despite recent increases, however, policy rates remain negative in real terms (adjusted

for inflation) in Chile, Colombia, and Peru (chart 4). Central banks in Brazil and Mexico have been more aggressive in hiking rates,

setting them apart from their peers in the region and around the globe (chart 5).

Fiscal authorities also responded to the pandemic with extraordinary measures to support the most vulnerable and

sustain economic activity. The result was a marked deterioration in fiscal balances (chart 6) and a corresponding increase in

general government gross debt as a share of GDP (chart 7). While public sector balance sheets provided a shock absorber

through the pandemic, and an increase in debt-to-GDP ratios is consistent with that role, increases in Argentina and Brazil, which

pre-date the COVID-19 event are noteworthy. Looking ahead, a further deterioration in public finances, particularly in the run-up to

elections, could weigh on investor confidence.

Such concerns could be aggravated by external vulnerabilities, including external debt burdens (chart 8), current account

balances (chart 9), and international reserves (chart 10). At this point, however, there is little indication of potential problems.

KEY MARKET CHARTS

Financial markets in the Latam region have largely reflected two factors over the past six months: central banks’

tightening cycle and political uncertainty. In Brazil, for example, the real has appreciated against the US dollar in recent weeks

on the back of the central bank’s policy (chart 3). The Peruvian currency, meanwhile, has rallied against the dollar, recouping the

losses sustained earlier in the year as political uncertainty in the run-up to the presidential elections and the extended interregnum

that followed took a toll on the pen. With that uncertainty reduced, and the administration in Lima projecting a more moderate tone,

the financial environment has improved. In contrast, increased political uncertainty in Brazil, reflecting growing opposition to the

president, has likely hurt local equity markets, which have underperformed relative to all other regional markets (chart 4).

The effects of the same two factors can also be discerned in a longer-term perspective. Latam currencies depreciated early

in the pandemic, consistent with inflation-targeting regimes with flexible exchange rates, as central banks took extraordinary

actions (chart 5). Similarly, 10-year CDS spreads on Latam sovereigns widened considerably in March 2020, but narrowed through

the balance of the year (chart 6). Spread widening in Brazil, Colombia and Peru in 2021 has likely reflected political considerations

and other idiosyncratic factors, such as the nationwide strikes in Colombia that had disrupted production earlier in the year.

YIELD CURVE CHARTS

Latam sovereign yield curves have shifted up over the year as central banks started tightening monetary conditions

(charts 1–12). Most sovereign curves have shifted up more or less uniformly over all maturities as markets have priced-in the

effects of inflation and central banks’ reponses to price pressures. Argentina, which features a highly inverted yield curve reflecting

the pervasive uncertainty regarding near-term debt sustainability, is an exception. Mexico’s curve is another exception. While the

short-end of the curve has shifted up since the start of the year, beyond the medium-term it remains firmly anchored at its position

at the start of the year.

KEY COVID-19 CHARTS

It was noted above that much of the uncertainty clouding near-term prospects has cleared. Unknowns related to the

evolution of the pandemic remain, however. Charts 1–12 provide key monitoring tools. Of especial importance in this regard is the

continued decline in new daily cases (chart 7) and test positivity rates (chart 12). At the same time, tracking vaccine doses

administered (chart 10) provides a guide to the robustness of the recovery. Chile continues to stand out, not only in the region, but

internationally, in this regard.
