MEXICO HAS A HUGE WATER PROBLEM Mexico has found itself in a shocking sanitation crisis for at least 20 years as 57% of its population doesn’t have access to safely managed drinking water.

Gaviota belongs to the state-owned monopoly Gaesa, the business management group of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR), headed by Raúl Castro’s former son-in-law, Luis Alberto López-Callejas. In second place, we have Posadas, Mexico’s largest hotel chain. Th…
LATAM: FROM FULL DEMOCRACIES TO AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) just released its yearly Democracy Index in which it ranks and assigns a democracy score to every country based on five factors. In general, the news wasn’t good — Latin America’s overall score fell for the sixth straight year. According to the EIU, it was “the biggest downgrade recorded by any region since [launching] the D…
COCA-COLA EARNS MORE WITH LESS IN LATIN AMERICA Coca-Cola has been having a tough few years of revenue and profit declines. Its best year was ten years ago; since then, its revenue and EBITDA have been either declining or in slow-growth mode. Whereas it's hard to point at just one factor, a massive one is a decline in soft drink consumption, especially in rich countries. The Coca-Cola Company, however, has always f…
SOLAR ENERGY IS BOOMING IN LATIN AMERICA Tourists are not the only ones taking advantage of Latin America’s precious sunlight due to its tropical latitudes. During the last few years, demand for solar panels in the region has skyrocketed as panel prices decrease and efficiency increases. Brazil’s installed capacity is expected to reach 10 GW by 2024, and Mexico finds itself on a very similar track. Similarly, as of…
CITIES WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE APARTMENTS IN LATAM A 2021 study revealed the most expensive cities to live in Latin America, measured by apartment square meter prices. The study also showed an overall decline in Latin American real estate value. Eight out of 14 cities saw price decreases compared to 2017 — an overall 0.5% decline across all cities. With an average price of $3,441 per square meter, housing in Santia…
AB INBEV'S LATIN AMERICAN BEERS ARE ITS BEST-SELLERS AB InBev’s story is a masterclass of global brand consolidation. Perhaps you don’t know their name, but you’d be lying if you said you haven’t seen their products. The company produces and sells more than 500 brands worldwide, most of which are beers. Its entire history of mergers and acquisitions is hard to cover, but the 4 mentioned on our chart are the most sig…
SIX LATAM COUNTRIES PRODUCE OVER HALF THE WORLD'S COFFEE Did you know that Brazil is the world's biggest coffee producer? Even more surprising, only 6 Latin American countries produce half of the world's coffee. Latin Americans are not big coffee drinkers, however. That title is held by Europeans, which, funny enough, produce no coffee at all. Cold climates might help explain coffee consumption a little better — F…
BRAZILIAN VC FUNDS ARE BETTING BIG AND EARLY ON LATAM STARTUPS Latin America is the fastest-growing region for Venture funding, and seed funding is no exception. This chart represents seed rounds, which are usually the very first investment that a startup receives, often even before they have a track record or can generate cash of their own. Brazilian VC firms are leading this kind of funding for Latin American sta…
THE NFL IS HAVING ITS BEST SEASON YET IN MEXICO It's been an exciting year for American football (farewell, Tom Brady ✌️). The NFL is not only the most popular sports league in the US; it's also the world’s most valuable. Due to growing popularity, marketing, and season games played in Mexico, Google Trends search volume for the NFL in Mexico reached an all-time during last week's playoffs. The NFL has been ramping…
AT&T'S MOMENTUM IN MEXICO HAS STAGNATED AT&T México entered the market through its acquisition of Nextel and Iusacell in 2015. From then to 2018, it more than doubled its number of subscribers and added more new subscribers each quarter than Telcel, the country’s dominant telecom provider. That trend ended in early 2019, and since then, Telcel has added 3.8M new subscribers, while AT&T only 1.1M (as of Q3 2021). So…
VISUALIZING LATIN AMERICA'S EXPORT ECONOMY Latin America is a major exporter of goods to the rest of the world. A look at the region's overall exports shows that it’s sending mostly raw materials. Examples of those raw materials are: 🛢 Crude oil (petroleum) 🥇 Gold 🥉 Copper 🌱 Soybeans Over time, countries have exported more products to China. Starting in 2001, China began engaging Latin America and building strong …
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @latinometrics. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
