As overheating fears in Brazil grow, Mexico’s slowdown deeper than expected

SAO PAULO (ICIS)–The financial week in Latin America ends with the confirmation that its two largest economies’ performance is taking diverging paths as Brazil’s unexpected healthy growth brings to the fore overheating fears, while Mexico’s slowdown is proving harsher than previously thought.

Healthier-than-expected growth in Brazil occurs against the backdrop of a fast-slowing Mexican economy, where political woes at home and in the US, due to the upcoming presidential election, are taking a toll on output, expected by the IMF below 2% in both 2024 and 2025.
