Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! This week, we’re keeping up with multilateral trade deals, Chilean stocks, and more.

Trivia of the Week 🎯

Just shy of 42% of you correctly guessed Bogota’s El Dorado airport as the airline which has recently displaced Mexico City and São Paulo as the busiest airport in Latin America. Colombia has increasingly become an aviation hub owing to its central location and good connections across the hemisphere.

Each week, tune back in for the answer to the previous week’s trivia question. No cheating!

Who was the first Latin American to win an Oscar?

🇧🇴 The Bolivian government has unveiled a sweeping fiscal adjustment plan that includes a 30% reduction in public spending for the 2026 budget. Economy Minister Gabriel Espinoza announced the administration will also eliminate four "inefficient" taxes—including levies on large fortunes and financial transfers—which currently generate less than 1% of total tax revenue yet significantly hamper private investment.

Latinometrics: This policy pivot aims to accelerate a fragile recovery in foreign investment. While net FDI has rebounded to $385M in 2024, inflows are still recovering from a "lost half-decade" defined by a massive $1.1B divestment shock in 2020. The administration argues the juice wasn't worth the squeeze: the "Wealth Tax" raised just ~$23M initially but allegedly spurred $2B in capital flight, a barrier the government is now tearing down to sustain this year's upward momentum.

🇨🇱 Nearly 77% of companies in Chile's benchmark IPSA index improved their results in the first nine months of 2025, with combined profits reaching $9.8B—a 6% year-over-year expansion. Latam Airlines led with $976M in accumulated earnings, followed by Banco de Chile and Santander, while SQM swung from losses of $524M last year to profits of $404M.

Latinometrics: These record profits are justifying the massive rally on the Santiago Exchange; +45% so far this year. That return is almost 3x the S&P 500’s (+17% YTD) return.
