The International Monetary Fund (IMF) maintained its growth outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean in 2026, projecting economic expansion of 2.4%, while for 2027 it estimates an acceleration to 2.7%, reflecting a gradual improvement in the region’s economic activity.
According to the july 2026 update of the World Economic Outlook report, the organization indicates that Latin America and the Caribbean will maintain the same growth rate observed in 2025, when the regional economy also registered an expansion of 2.4%.
Although the outlook for the region remains stable, the IMF warns that global economic performance continues to be uneven. While some countries benefit from the growth of the technology industry and demand related to artificial intelligence, others face greater challenges due to the impact of international conflicts, especially energy-importing economies and the most vulnerable.
In the global context, the organization projects economic growth of 3.0% for 2026 and 3.4% for 2027, figures virtually unchanged from the forecasts published in april of this year.
The report also notes that the process of reducing inflation worldwide has lost momentum, and therefore recommends that governments maintain policies focused on preserving price stability, strengthening public finances, and increasing the capacity of economies to adapt to external risks.
For Latin America and the Caribbean, the projected improvement for 2027 reflects expectations of a gradual recovery in economic activity, although the IMF warns that the region will remain exposed to international factors such as the evolution of geopolitical conflicts, the volatility of financial markets, and the behavior of global trade.
