The health crisis has had an outsize impact on the region’s economy with a staggering increase in poverty and unemployment, pushing inequalities in access to health care, quality education, and digital connectivity. Some countries have experienced the re-emergence of protest movements, which reflects an acute polarization and disenchantment with democratic and economic performances. Even though Latin America perceived a sign of economic recovery in 2021, fiscal deficits, inflation, and depreciation of local currencies will make recovery complex and challenging. This talk convened experts to discuss the challenges foreseen for 2022 in terms of economic recovery, political uncertainty due to the region’s electoral calendar, markets performance and social conditions. This event was co-sponsored by Georgetown Americas Institute, Center for Latin American Studies, Latin America Leadership Program, and the Center for Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas.
