Central banks across emerging markets have reacted to elevated inflation by significantly tightening monetary policy, in some cases, well ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. After largely synchronized rate-hiking cycles across EM, monetary policies could once again begin to diverge among individual countries.

The main disruption for Latin American traders comes from increased shipping costs and long delays to products arriving at their destinations. Latin American exporters of fruit, meat, and other perishables were not critically affected by delays until mid-2021, with perishable goods shipped through direct routes that often avoid bottlenecks.
