BLADEX says Latin America sovereign risk perception improves, fiscal and institutional risks persist
BLADEX published a regional credit-rating outlook that flags a broad improvement in Latin America’s sovereign risk perception. Fiscal sustainability and institutional strength remain the main pressure points, with risks concentrated in country-specific vulnerabilities. External accounts continue to act as a key credit buffer, while growth, inflation, and policy settings show a more neutral balance. South America shows a persistent credit-quality gap with higher volatility; Central America and the Caribbean look steadier but still vulnerable. 2026—2027 projections point to weaker growth prospects and rising fiscal strain, raising the bar for further credit gains.
