Diego SiongoHOST
Hola, mi nombre es Diego Ciongo, economista de Itaú para el Cono Sur, y hoy vamos a repasar los principales temas macroeconómicos que marcaron la semana en Paraguay y en la economía global.
Diego SiongoHOST
Comenzamos en Paraguay, donde la actividad económica mantuvo un sólido desempeño en julio.
Diego SiongoHOST
El IMAEP creció cinco coma cinco por ciento interanual, impulsando una expansión de dos coma ocho por ciento en el trimestre finalizado en ese mes.
Emmet OliverHOST
You've probably seen it has been intruding into your news feed for the last few weeks, not just the Falkland Islands, but the economic policies of the man who's in charge there as well.
Emmet OliverHOST
So joining me now is the Southern Cone correspondent of the Financial Times, Ciara Nugent, to talk about what's happening with the Falkland Islands and more broadly in the region.
Emmet OliverHOST
Ciara, you're very welcome to the programme.
Ciara NugentGUEST
Hi, Emmett.

Emmet OliverHOST
Well, isn't it going to be an interesting thing to watch because Argentina is always interesting and, as you said yourself earlier, deeply unpredictable how things are going to go.
Emmet OliverHOST
But for the moment, thanks for the update.
Emmet OliverHOST
Ciara Nugent is Southern Cone correspondent with the Financial Times.
Emmet OliverHOST
Thank you very much for joining us.
Peter LevendaGUEST
So you had them involved with Operation Condor in South America.
Peter LevendaGUEST
And Condor was Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, all the countries in the Southern Cone involved in anti-communist activities that were being masterminded by Nazi war criminals like Klaus Barbie in Bolivia and like Schaefer in Chile, the group that I investigated in 79.
Peter LevendaGUEST
So you have this tentacle operation, and we tend not to look at it because World War II is over.
Peter LevendaGUEST
It was over in 45.
Troy GrantGUEST
I think my takeaway from the conference was that there's a lot of low-key optimism amongst certainly a lot of the service companies and things on sort of expiration upticks and opportunities there after, you know, fairly large downturn with ONG majors kind of focusing on returns for shareholders, etc.
Troy GrantGUEST
In terms of Southern South America, Uruguay was there.
Troy GrantGUEST
They're obviously very excited on the latest sort of APA ENI well that they're going to be drilling after the failure of the Raya well.
Troy GrantGUEST
So there's a lot of optimism from that.

Durante la reunión, la autoridad monetaria destacó que la actividad económica continúa mostrando un desempeño sólido y acorde con las previsiones oficiales de crecimiento para este año.
Kirsten WeldGUEST
They all said, great.
Kirsten WeldGUEST
across the whole hemisphere, there was this massive set of peaceful revolutions that overthrew dictatorships from Guatemala all the way down to the Southern Cone.
Kirsten WeldGUEST
And so that was really consequential.
Kirsten WeldGUEST
And one of the places that that happens is Guatemala, where there is this kind of reformist nationalist revolution that yields the first ever democratic elections in the country.
