About The LatAm Thread

The LatAm Thread covers macro and markets across Latin America for emerging market investors: central banks, inflation, currencies, public finances, elections and the rules for doing business.

How we work

• Every figure comes from an official source, such as a central bank, statistics office, tax authority, the IMF or the World Bank, and links to it with its date.
• If we cannot verify a number, we leave it out.
• Opinions are labeled as views. Our view leans pro market and pro growth, with a focus on fiscal discipline; the data stays neutral.
• Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice, and we never make buy or sell calls.

Coverage

Country profiles for 19 economies, a live dashboard, a release calendar and doing business guides. Argentina is covered by our sister site The Argentine Thread.
