Dollar under pressure and falling remittances to Latin America: Economic warning signs

Economic and financial indicators are raising warning signs about the U.S. economy and its regional impact. A Bloomberg analysis suggests the U.S. dollar could be experiencing its worst performance in the first 100 days of a presidency since the Nixon era.

At the same time, the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) projects a decline in remittances sent by migrants from the United States to Latin America. These transfers are a crucial source of income for millions of families and an important support for the region's economies.

The potential weakness of the dollar and the decline in remittances could reflect a loss of confidence in the U.S. economy or political stability under the new administration, with direct and potentially adverse effects for Latin America. This acts as an early warning for governments in the region.
