Latin American companies and governments are issuing debt at a pace that has far exceeded expectations, with bond sales reaching record levels despite a volatile global backdrop tied to President Donald Trump's return to the White House.
Issuers from the region have sold just over $184 billion in international bonds so far this year, nearly 50% more than in 2024 and the highest amount in data going back to 2014, according to Bloomberg. Bankers say it is likely the strongest year for Latin American bond issuance since the market took shape in the 1990s.
