Latin America
Domestic political realignment in Brazil with right-wing consolidation around security issues; potential shift toward more authoritarian governance models if elected. Reflects broader Latin American trend of conservative backlash against left-wing administrations on crime.
Similar to 2018 Brazilian election when Jair Bolsonaro capitalized on crime concerns; echoes 1990s-2000s Latin American 'tough on crime' movements that produced mixed results.

Households may face increased public security spending through taxation; potential rise in private security demand; uncertainty around criminal justice reforms could affect business confidence and investment decisions, particularly in vulnerable urban areas.
