Read blog | Throughout the year, the global economy has experienced a slight deceleration in growth compared to 2023, accompanied by inflation rates aligning more closely with target levels. This trend has enabled central banks in the Eurozone and the United States to initiate reductions in interest rates. For Latin America, this development has led to a decline in the prices of most commodities—although they remain elevated—while external financing costs have gradually decreased, particularly in the second half of the year.
