Legislative and structural reforms in Latin America

Overview

Mexico, Chile, and Colombia are pursuing various legislative and structural reforms across fiscal, financial, and environmental sectors.

In Mexico, efforts include reviewing the 2027 Economic Package to combat tax evasion and a proposed reform to the General Law for Sustainable Forest Development. The latter aims to mandate that all public purchases of forest products are legally certified to prevent the financing of illegal logging.

Chile is advancing capital markets reforms, specifically the fourth capital markets reform (MK4) which includes the creation of the National Housing Fund (Fonavi) to assist with mortgage access. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture has introduced a draft bill to provide incentives for forestry activities, though this has sparked debate regarding the protection of native forests versus fast-growing plantations.

In Colombia, legislative discussions have focused on potential budget reductions for the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), with proponents suggesting a redistribution of approximately 100 billion pesos toward other public investments.

Entities
