Key points

• Key points:
• In recent months, economic activity has shown a better performance than expected three months ago
• This more favorable evolution is mainly explained by three factors: (i) relative containment of the pandemic (the “third wave” did not materialize), (ii) stimulus policies, and (ii) availability of liquidity from families (AFPs and CTS withdrawals)
• Going forward, it will be more difficult to maintain economic dynamism, due to less favorable external conditions and deterioration of confidence.
