In Mexico, exports sustain growth; In Argentina, there is a still unbalanced recovery. CB drove interest rates up (+ 1.5%), in response to the worsening inflation scenario (despite exchange rate appreciation) amid wage negotiations. S&P upgraded rating to B; We forecast interest rate cuts forecast for Chile, Colomdia and Peru.

8 The oil price collapse was a blow to the economy The impact of the oil price collapse was a blow to the economy, leading to lower real wages and requiring tighter fiscal and monetary policies. After a buoyant period of economic growth (4.4% in 2014 and 3.1% in 2015), activity slowed-down to 2.0% in 2016; Oil production is the main drag on activity and investment continues to contract.

9 Inflation back on track The effect of a notable exchange-rate depreciation and the impact of El Niño on food prices drove inflation to historical highs, leading the central bank to embark on an extended tightening cycle; However, as supply-side shocks fade, inflation is en route towards the central bank s target range; The central bank is now embarking on a loosening cycle to avoid an excessive deceleration of domestic demand. 10 Inflation (YoY, %) Policy Rate (%) Monetary policy rate Real Policy Rate Headline CPI Average Core Food (rhs) 2004-present average Market expectations Source: DANE, Banrep, Itaú.

10 Twin deficits narrow gradually After a sharp deterioration of the CA balance, the recovery in oil prices is aiding exports and supporting a significant correction of the CAD (to 4.4% in 2016, from 6.4% in 2015); Meanwhile, the terms-of-trade shock gave the government room to deviate from the structural balance. Going forward, convergence to the 1.0% deficit target is expected The recent narrowing of the CAD had led the official "experts committee to increase the maximum fiscal deficit permitted under the fiscal rule for this year.

11 Oil related fiscal revenue will remain low in coming years The oil sector has been affected not only by low prices, but also by a poor outlook for production; Under-investment in the sector is affecting the country s reserves and will likely result in diminished production going forward; Oil related fiscal revenue should be close to 0.5% of GDP)..

25 Fiscal: what measures are needed to deliver the spending cap? Total federal expenditure increases to 21.2% of GDP up to 2025 without reforms (from below 20% today).
