Latin America Program

Latin American governments loosened the purse strings in response to the pandemic, adding to the region鈥檚 already hefty debt burdens. Few questioned the need for fiscal stimulus, but as the pandemic drags on, the region is seeing repeated credit rating downgrades and increased borrowing costs. Leaders who have tried to rein in spending or raise revenue have been with public anger. In this episode, Benjamin Gedan, deputy director of the 乐鱼 体育鈥檚 Latin American Program, speaks with Ben Ramsey, head of Latin America economic research at J.P. Morgan, and Alejo Czerwonko, chief investment officer for emerging markets Americas at UBS, to discuss Latin America鈥檚 debt troubles.
