Chile’s economic growth will slow very slightly in 2026 but will remain close to its potential, while inflation will fluctuate around the 3% target. The mining sector continues to be an important driver of growth: high copper and lithium prices are bolstering exports and investment projects. Hélène Drouot
Strong exports helped the Mexican economy to avoid recession in 2025, despite geopolitical tensions. Sluggish investment is a structural weakness in the country, and the outlook is not favourable. However, driven by household consumption, activity is expected to rebound in 2026, and Mexican growth could reach its potential. Hélène Drouot
