Latin America’s transport sector holds neutral ’25 outlook

Fitch Ratings has maintained a neutral outlook for Latin America’s transportation infrastructure sector in 2025, citing steady recovery and traffic levels surpassing pre-pandemic benchmarks across toll roads and airports.

According to a recent report, the sector is expected to benefit from lower inflation and interest rates in key economies, bolstering cost control, financial stability, and refinancing opportunities. Traffic volumes are forecast to grow alongside moderate GDP expansion of 1 to 4 per cent in most countries.

However, challenges such as political interference, policy uncertainty, and potential economic slowdowns in the US and China could weigh on performance. Strong regulatory frameworks and growth prospects are expected to offset these risks, sustaining the neutral outlook.
