Without a doubt, 2019 has been a volatile year for those who live and work in Latin America. The markets have been changing quickly as there are numerous regulatory changes throughout many areas of this region of the world. Many financial institutions have a significant amount of exposure to the markets in this region because of the rapid growth of these countries and the potential access to untapped markets. With this in mind, many analysts and investors are looking closely at both global and local factors that have an influence on the economic performance of this area. Bonds, equities, and foreign exchanges are both playing a role in the growth of the Latin American economies.

There are several external factors that are playing a role in the performance of various financial entities in Latin America. The rising interest rates in the United States, as well as the tension between the USA and China's trade war, have played a role in slowing down the markets in certain areas of Latin America. At the same time, there are domestic issues that are playing a role in the Latin American markets as well. While certain countries have economic markets that are performing well, there is also a lot of political unrest in some of Latin America's largest countries. Social issues are taking center stage in Brazil and Mexico, both of which had recent elections. Furthermore, there has also been a lot of policy uncertainty in another large player, Argentina.

All of these problems are impacting the social strife throughout Latin America. For many individuals and families who live in this part of the world, continued economic growth is important for their livelihood. Without the growth of the Latin American markets, which comes in the form of investments from overseas countries, there is a significant slowdown in the rate of job creation. If the job creation starts to slow in this country, then families will have a hard time making ends meet. The response is going to be further unrest in the form of protests against the current governments in some of the largest countries in this region. Sadly, political unrest will only act to deter foreign investment in Latin Markets even further. This endless cycle will need to be broken to prevent economic recession and depression fears from becoming a reality.

As this part of the world continues to grow and develop, it will be interesting to watch as foreign countries and financial institutions continue to debate continued investment in this part of the world. Their investment has a tremendous impact on social issues throughout Latin America. For many of these countries, their overall growth depends on their continued investment in Latin Markets.
