NEW: A few years ago, the consensus on AI's impact on labor markets seemed clear, writes Eduardo Levy Yeyati. Automation would likely replace medium-skilled jobs, depress low-skilled wages due to competition from displaced middle-skilled workers, and widen the skill premium. As a result, low- and middle-income countries, including those in Latin America, with less qualified workforces, were considered the most vulnerable to technological substitution. But fast forward to today, and these assumptions no longer hold. In fact, the most likely outcomes may be the opposite—with big consequences for Latin American economies. #ai #artificialintelligence #automation #labormarkets #latinamerica https://lnkd.in/ee54__2y

NEW: Of late, the most visible U.S. official in Latin America and the Caribbean has arguably been General Laura Richardson, the head of the Miami-based Southern Command, known as SouthCom, write Laura Tedesco and Rut Diamint. Richardson has been an able emissary. But it is still worth asking: If Washington is genuinely concerned about losing influence to Beijing in Latin America, why has it relegated so much of its relationship with the region to a military institution such as SouthCom? #uslatinamerica #diplomacy #uschina #latinamerica https://lnkd.in/ea3a2tJ3

NEW: Haiti’s seemingly unsurmountable hardships are well known, but a different story awaits. Despite the disruptive gang violence of recent years that led to the virtual collapse of the state, the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere may take a different course as a new political transition is underway, writes Xavier Michon. Will its leaders seize this moment? A governing council has been set up, and interim Prime Minister Garry Conille, a senior UN official who served as Prime Minister from 2011-2012, is determined to reestablish security and deliver credible elections next year, giving a new chance to the nation’s potential. While the international community is accompanying these efforts, it also needs a nation’s vision to ensure that any opportunities created don’t go to waste. Once a security foundation is laid, sustained investment in institutions, infrastructure and the country’s youth should be close behind. The arrival of a Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) days ago presents a historic opportunity to improve security and prevent further deterioration. A UNICEF report released this week found that more than 300,000 children have been displaced since March, meaning that one child is displaced every minute in this country as armed violence persists. In total, more than 580,000 people are homeless due to the protracted public safety crisis, as gangs still control most of the nation’s capital and its main access points. Once the violence is under control, Haiti’s transitional authorities should address corruption and deliver a fair and transparent election in 2025. This is the best, and perhaps only, way to rebuild faith in the country’s government and democracy. Conille’s administration has already announced a concrete anti-corruption strategy, emphasizing governance reforms to improve transparency, strengthen institutions and actively engage with civil society in oversight. This anti-graft commitment and extensive stakeholder involvement appear likely to improve public confidence in the government. #haiti #crisis #governance https://lnkd.in/eahsaKyW

NEW: The Brazilian currency is now down 7% in just the last month. How concerned should President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva—and investors—really be? As has often happened throughout Brazilian history, fiscal worries are at the forefront, with markets demanding some adjustments to spending policies, writes Bret Rosen. Meanwhile, there are several important issues that make monetary policy in Brazil extremely complicated. #monetarypolicy #fiscalpolicy #currencymarkets #real #brazil https://lnkd.in/eQBM75we

NEW: President José Raul Mulino took office yesterday, promising significant action on crucial trade and foreign policy fronts, Mary Triny Zea. Analysts said he’ll likely take decisive measures on the migration crisis in the Darién Gap and the Panama Canal’s critical water shortage, while the fate of the largest copper mine in Central America closed last year remains uncertain. In the hours after his inauguration, Mulino signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. to “close” the Darién Gap on the border with Colombia to stop migrants from crossing. Mulino can ill-afford to fail to deliver on major campaign issues like migration. #migration #panama #politics #elecciones2024 https://lnkd.in/e2eNbs7w

NEW: Tabasco, once called Mexico’s “Eden” by a past state governor, is known for its oil, torrential floods, and for being the home state of outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador—not cartel violence. But with monthly organized crime-linked homicides up 400% since last year as of May, that’s changing, writes Will Freeman. Last December, violence reached new extremes, mirroring a security crisis already raging in the neighboring state of Chiapas and which threatens to engulf other southern states. Politicians from Morena, the party of AMLO and President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, governed most of those states before the June 2 elections. Now, they govern all of them. The South’s drug-related violence has been years in the making, and analysts warn that despite recent economic outperformance, one of Mexico’s poorest and most neglected regions—from which citizens still migrate in large numbers—could slide even further into instability. #security #organizedcrime #mexico #morena https://lnkd.in/eZaqGbKw
