Abstract
The 18th edition of the Latin American Economic Outlook presents policy options for a greener, more inclusive regional production structure and examines financing mechanisms to support this transformation. It highlights the need for development strategies that promote formal job creation and strengthen local capacities and strategic sectors, while aligning production structures with global standards and demands.
The report’s recommendations focus on improved implementation of productive development policies; innovative financial instruments; a renewed role for development finance institutions; and revitalised international partnerships to mobilise resources and support capacity building. Together, these priorities can drive the region’s transition towards resilient, knowledge‑intensive production systems that underpin inclusive and sustainable growth.
