Brazil Is Leading Latin America Out of Recession, JPMorgan Says

First LATAM. Then the world :-)

By Michael Patterson

July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Latin America’s economy will exit a recession this year, led by Brazil, as low interest rates spur consumer spending and a rebound in global demand increases earnings from commodity exports, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said.

The region will grow at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 7.9 percent in the third quarter, after contracting 1 percent in the previous quarter, New York-based JPMorgan analyst Luis Oganes wrote in a research note dated yesterday. It will grow 3.2 percent in the final three months of the year, he wrote.

Brazil probably grew at a 4.3 percent pace in the second quarter from the previous quarter, Oganes wrote. Latin America’s largest economy will expand 5 percent this quarter and 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter, he wrote.

“Brazil is already emerging as the clear leader of the region’s recovery,” Oganes wrote.
