Economic outlooks for Chile and Mexico have shown signs of volatility and downward revisions. In Chile, public perception of the economy deteriorated, with 51% of surveyed individuals rating the situation as bad. This was followed by the Central Bank of Chile lowering its 2026 GDP growth projections from a range of 1.0%–1.75% to 0.25%–0.75%, citing weakening domestic demand, a deteriorating labor market, and lower mining production.

In Mexico, investment in certain subsectors experienced significant declines of up to 44.5% due to energy availability issues and uncertainty regarding T-MEC rules and tariffs. While Banamex slightly increased its 2026 GDP growth estimate for Mexico from 1.3% to 1.4% due to improvements in construction and the external sector, it lowered its 2027 forecast to 1.7% in anticipation of a more gradual recovery in manufacturing.
