What the Cup Left Behind

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! A month-long tournament, a parcel tax, and 8,000 ships flying one small country's flag. The host nation added up what the tournament actually left behind, and the total came in under every projection. Chile's Treasury cut this year's growth forecast and now expects the country's mines to shrink. Plus: an island where two people die for every baby born, and a country sitting on a foreign savings cushion twice the size of its neighbors'.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
