The significant drop from 2018 is good news but last year's losses still represent a staggering number. Governments and the private sector in #LatinAmerica and other developing nations should step up efforts to close the gap between economic and insured losses.

Several countries in #LatinAmerica in the category with considerable risk of default.

[Oxford Economics @OxfordEconomics]

We identify conspicuous areas of growing #EM vulnerability, inc rising sovereign and corporate debt, and opaque lending practices by #China. But while global volatility and yields stay low, risks shd be confined to a few sovereigns whose domestic policies have gone off-track.

Chile is NOT going to host APEC, NOT going to host COP25. Massive blow to the country

I hope this #LatinAmerica warning by the Eurasia Group doesn't come true: "People's expectations and grievances are high, but governments have less money to spread around. Expect the social rumblings in the region to get worse before they get better".

The election loss for President Mauricio Macri in #Argentina can actually be seen as a personal win for Macri in that he didn't suffer the humiliating defeat that many had expected. The failure to win a landslide victory will also serve as a constraint for the incoming govt.

A note to my friends in US media:

VERY few outside US understand the central fact of Trump impeachment - the ~0% chance that Republican-controlled Senate will actually remove him from office. Most outlets burying this context or not mentioning at all! World is confused
