Episode Details

Latin America and the Caribbean are exporting like never before—with exports jumping 15.7% in the first quarter of 2026, fueled by rising prices for gold, copper, soybeans, coffee, meat, and oil. The Inter-American Development Bank credits this resilience to smarter regional adaptation amid global trade turbulence, positioning the region to push for greater productivity and competitiveness. While the outlook remains positive, volatility in commodity prices could benefit exporters but hurt import-dependent economies, especially as fertilizer and shipping costs climb. Imports also rose nearly 10%, mostly from outside the region, while intra-regional trade grew more slowly—painting a complex but promising trade landscape.
