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…
Latin America and the Caribbean is mired in a decades-long growth trap, and further hampered by global and regional conditions that limit the space for macroeconomic policies to spur economic growth in the region. The results of the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, 2024 reveal weaker job creation, especially in the formal sector, with young people, women, older persons, migrants and rural dwellers among the most likely to be informal workers. In addition, an intensification of climate change effects will drastically reduce the number of jobs created in the medium term if mit…
América Latina y el Caribe se encuentra en una trampa de crecimiento que se ha prolongado por varias décadas y el contexto mundial y regional limitan el espacio de las políticas macroeconómicas en su favor.

Además, un intensificación de los efectos de…

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…
Latin American and Caribbean issuers placed US$ 112 billion of bonds in international markets in the first 10 months of 2024. This total was 40% higher than in the same period in 2023. The market remained open to high-yield issuers from the region, but most of the region’s issuances (58%) came from the investment grade sector. After two consecutive years in which sovereign issuances surpassed the 50% mark, corporate bond issuances in the reporting period represented 57% of the total.
The region issued US$ 29 billion in green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds in internatio…
The Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean 2023 analyses the complex macroeconomic scenario for the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, and projects that low economic growth will continue in 2023 and 2024. Inflation is expected to ease, although it will remain relatively high, as will public debt levels. This is coupled with a slowdown in employment, investment and consumption, and rising social demands. The report shows that both external and domestic factors have affected the region’s economic performance.
This edition of the Economic Survey also analyses the macroecon…

The 17th edition of the report argues that LAC’s sustainable financing gap – estimated at USD 99 billion annually – can be bridged if private and public actors improve coordination, with the support of their international partners. The region’s challenging …
