it has happiness to the cities for them, thankless cobra well to program. average inflation for latin american countries stood at almost 15 percent last year. the international monetary fund service is creating a crisis, particularly for those who have already been struggling. now the leaders of 1111 american countries say they forged to plan to address the issue. as argentina's, inflation rate of almost 100 per cent, saps earning power and outstrips wages. 67 year old jorge pedro are mo, has found a painful solution. juggling 3 jobs is a metal worker, a part time salesman, of flip flops, medical creams, and honey, and as a soccer coach. armand, who lives in the outskirts of the capital one as iris works 7 days a week, every week to stave off poverty. that affects almost $4.10 people in the south american country that is in no, she goes in,

wasn't political if we agree to remove barrier tariffs that will head and sanitary measures because each country has something to offer to consumer in the i looking for is it in this way we can get food and a sense for products that better prices in the face of inflation and high prices, he to the game with a knew that ally mendecy. bruce does bicycles. i me heard, but issue many in latin america and the caribbean. now hope that these measures become concrete so that inflation will soon slow down for more i'm not joined by harvey. i get us news anchor on our spanish speaking service and formerly a presenter here on dw business. welcome back to studio 3. how are you? good to have you. we seen the problems caused by inflation vividly illustrated in that report. but remind us how did it get so bad?

well, of course, latin america, diverse region, every country has its own different problems. but broadly speaking, most of these countries have rather high levels of external debt that, that most often has to be back in a foreign currency nor than their own. so that makes them vulnerable to changes in the global economy in their own currency, is that also costs as a general distrust by the populations. argentinians, for example, prefer to have their savings and investments in dollars than in their national best, or because they think it's safer that further weakens their currency and makes prices look or go up. and last but not least, it's important to remember that inflation is measured by a set of products. most of them are great cultural products and we've seen a perfect storm of the warren crane, which drove the prices of grains up. we saw climate change and droughts in sometimes with record levels of rain or low levels of rain in the region. and last but not least, also very important. the bird flew, which has driven up the prices of meat. so all of this has caused the increase in price, so there are certainly regional factors that are also to blame here. now,

11, that number in countries want to work together to combat this ramp and inflation. what exactly do they want to do? well, the final communique of this summit is quite vague, yet they are going to meet again in may. but what they are talking about is to reduce the trade barriers and tariffs, and also what they call a to simplify the logistics to make export and import of those products within the countries and with other countries, easier and cheaper. they also talk about a fair international architecture of financial architecture, which would probably mean to exert some type of pressure against lenders for debt cuts or to reduce the interest rates. and is this initiative likely to be successful? i would love to tell you that it's going to be a huge success. it sounds rather simple and easy to do, but let's not forget that all of these countries, most of these countries, at least, are politically aligned in this case, to the left. if you really wanna have an impact, you do have to include the other side. experience in latin america has shown that many of these initiatives fail because a country may maley a heavyweight countries like brazil,

argentina can quickly change from one political direction to the other. and then turn their backs on these types of initiatives due to ideological or political problems. if this happens again, we will see this initiative fail. maybe they'll be successful. we certainly hope for it because it's important for the people in to reach the ws harvey. i get us. thank you for your analysis of you know, less than a month ago. tesla announced plans to build a car factory, monterey, mexico close to the us border since then. suppliers have set up shop housing for workers has gone up along with wages, concerns in the water, scarce region have also been growing. this is the speaker foot tesla model 3. it's made by the mexican company alley and plastics. director felipe ability i assist that ellen musk steamer tesla contacted him just days after announcing the new factory being built near monterey. vilerol assist output at his company will likely rise by
