Latin America is the current big thing for local and global ecommerces who want to reach a market where ecommerce is predicted to increase 30% per year through 2025, thanks to a rising digital-savvy population, booming smartphone penetration, and local fintechs. Meanwhile, the advent of new alternative payment methods, whether locally or not, has profoundly revolutionized Latin Americans' relationship with payments by providing them with the most fundamental things: access and inclusion.
- According to Gallup's State of the Worldwide Workplace: 2021 Report, 45 percent of individuals in the region believe the pandemic has had a significant impact on their life, and the number of employees who have lost a job or business (31%) is comparable to the global average.
- Over half of individuals working in Latin America and the Caribbean during the epidemic have lost wages (57%) and worked fewer hours (57%) while 58 percent have temporarily ceased working.
