A região da América Latina e Caribe está presa no que a Comissão Econômica para a América Latina e o Caribe (CEPAL) chamou de uma armadilha de baixa capacidade para crescer. Em 2024 e 2025, as taxas de crescimento seriam de 2,2% e 2,4%, respectivamente. Embora sejam mais altas do que a média da década 2015-2024 (1,0%), não permitirão fechar as lacunas das economias da região em relação às economias desenvolvidas.
Em 2024 e 2025, os países da região enfrentam um contexto internacional caracterizado por elevada incerteza financeira e comercial e desaceleração do crescimento dos principais parce…

The United States economy expanded at an annualized rate of 3.1% in the third quarter of 2024, above the economy’s long-term growth potential and the 3.0% growth recorded in the second quarter, driven primarily by consumer spending. The resilience of consumer spending has been supported by receding inflation and a robust labour market. Employment has increased for 47 consecutive months, but the labour market is softening. Progress in bringing down inflation has stalled over the past three months, with inflation rising from 2.4% in September 2024 to 2.7% in November. The Federal Reserve cut int…
