(17 July 2013) On Wednesday 24 July, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) will present the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean 2013, which will update this year's growth estimates for the region's countries.

The Economic survey 2013 includes a review of the macroeconomic performance of the region's countries during the first six months of the year, as well as the outlook for the year as a whole.
The document also presents an analysis of the sustainability of growth in most of the region's economies from the past three decades, as well as making recommendations for broadening and diversifying their sources of expansion.
