La región de América Latina y el Caribe desacelerará su ritmo de crecimiento en 2022 a 2,1%, luego de crecer 6,2% promedio el año pasado, según nuevas proyecciones entregadas hoy por la CEPAL.

Em seu relatório anual Perspectivas do Comércio Internacional da América Latina e do Caribe a CEPAL projeta que o comércio internacional da América Latina e do Caribe terá uma recuperação importante em 2021 após a forte queda observada no ano passado, mas essa recuperação será assimétrica e muito heterogênea entre os países da região, em um contexto de grande incerteza devido à crise provocada pela pandemia da COVID-19. Segundo o documento, para todo o ano de 2021, a CEPAL projeta um aumento de 25% no valor das exportações regionais de bens - após cair 10% em 2020 -, impulsionado pela alta de …
Economic growth in the United States slowed to 2.1% year-on-year in the third quarter
of 2021, from 6.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2021. Consumer spending
in the third quarter rose at its slowest pace since the recovery began, as durable
goods spending fell sharply amid supply shortages and rising inflationary pressures.
The labour market remained strong, averaging 651,000 new jobs per month. With
the Federal Reserve shifting its stance towards reducing accommodative measures
at a faster pace, Latin America and the Caribbean may experience tighter external
financial conditions next…
Existe evidencia de que la inversión fomenta el crecimiento económico, con lo cual, se generan mayores recursos al Estado. La cuantía de esta mayor recaudación fiscal depende de diversas condiciones, entre ellas, el momento en que se encuentre el ciclo económico. De acuerdo con la evidencia empírica, el multiplicador de la inversión tiende a ser mayor en condiciones recesivas. Por lo que el actual contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 sería un escenario propicio para potenciar el efecto que la inversión en infraestructura tiene sobre el crecimiento. Este documento presenta una revisión teórica y u…
Declining economic growth and competitiveness, the impact of the 2007–2009 global financial crisis, and the challenge of climate change and extreme weather events have hindered the sustainable development of Caribbean economies, the generation of sustained welfare gains and the achievement of key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the subregion’s vulnerability to the vagaries of global aggregate demand and commodity prices, which have largely driven the subregion’s debt upwards and dampened economic growth before its onset, compromising its ec…

COVID-19 has brought to the fore the need to address the problem of financing for development in middle-income countries, which has been characterized by the increasing decoupling of per capita income and the ability to mobilize domestic and external resources, and the disconnect between economic and social needs and the response of multilateral cooperation. This must be urgently addressed, as Latin American and Caribbean countries must recover from the effects of the pandemic and avoid another lost decade.
Middle-income countries, such as those in Latin America and the Caribbean, require mult…
El COVID-19 ha puesto sobre el tapete la necesidad de abordar la problemática del financiamiento para el desarrollo de los países de ingreso medio, que se ha caracterizado por la creciente disociación entre el ingreso per cápita y la capacidad de movilizar recursos internos y externos, así como por la desconexión entre las necesidades económicas y sociales y la respuesta de la cooperación multilateral. Esto debe abordarse con urgencia, ya que los países de América Latina y el Caribe deben recuperarse de los efectos de la pandemia y evitar otra década perdida.
Los países de ingreso medio, como …
