Economically speaking it has a lot of influence but it is mostly noticeable in the poorer countries where they inject a lot of money. Culturally wise, not more than a normal western country, although it seems to have less impact in some countries, for example there are no McDonald's in Bolivia since their culture doesn't like that kind of fast food, Halloween is only a thing in Mexico and i guess in Central American countries too. In my opinion, I think they have a very positive influence in Chile atleast
