Latin America’s Leftward Shift: Implications for Economic Policy
Thursday, April 27, 2023 | 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM ET
After years of a conservative wave, Latin American politics are shifting left once again. Just last year, Brazil elected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, replacing national conservative Jair Bolsonaro, while Colombia elected President Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego, widely regarded as the first-ever left-wing Colombian president. Similar leftward shifts have occurred in Peru, Honduras, and Chile in 2021, Bolivia in 2020, Argentina in 2019, and Mexico in 2018. What does this political shift mean for Latin American economics and the future of the region? Join us for an exclusive in-person briefing with Lisa M. Schineller, Managing Director in the Sovereign Ratings Department and Economist for Latin America at Standard & Poor’s on Thursday, April 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM ET to discuss the implications of this shift.
