Chase Forecasts Latin America 1998
Growth At 2.5%

Dow Jones Newswires

NEW YORK -- Citing the impact of turmoil in international financial
markets, Chase Securities forecast Monday that economic growth in Latin
America would slow to 2.5% in 1998, from 5.3% last year.

And Chase said things will get worse before improving.

"Next year, the region as a whole will stagnate, propelled by economic
contraction in both Brazil and Venezuela," Chase said in a report.

Chase said the growth slowdown in 1998 will be most noticeable "in
Brazil, where we expect real gross domestic product growth of only 0.7%,
and Venezuela, where GDP is set to grow only 0.5%."

Chase predicted that in 1999, the Brazilian economy will contract by 3%,
while Venezuela's GDP growth will be a negative 2%.
