ECLAC, through its International Trade and Integration Division and in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic, is organizing the International Seminar "Input-Output Tables as a Tool for Trade and Industrial Policies in Latin America and the Caribbean and Relations with Asia Pacific,” and the roundtable “Dynamics of the Intra and Inter Regional Value Chains and Integration in Latin America and Asia.” These activities are taking place under the projects "Input-Output Tables for Industrial Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean” and “Development of Value Chains for Deeper Integration between Latin America and Asia Pacific.” The meetings will take place in the city of Santo Domingo between September 11 and 13.

During the Seminar, ECLAC will present the Input-Output Table for Latin America and the Caribbean for a group of 18 countries. Likewise, the results of various studies that have been developed from the table will be presented in order to identify value chains in Latin America, as well as trade links between the region and Asia-Pacific.
