La inversión extranjera directa (IED) de México se ha incrementado durante el período 2009-2017 en la región de Centroamérica, pero su dinamismo ha sido menor al observado en el total de su inversión en el exterior, señala el documento La inversión mexicana en Centroamérica, publicado recientemente por la Sede Subregional de la CEPAL en México. Este menor dinamismo sugiere un reacomodo en las estrategias de inversión de las empresas mexicanas, indica el estudio.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) expects economic growth in the region to continue to decline, due to an international context of greater uncertainty and complexity, and weak performance by investment, exports and consumption.

According to the report, the region will grow this year by just 0.5%, a lower figure than the 0.9% regis…

A Comissão Econômica para a América Latina e o Caribe (CEPAL) espera que durante 2019 o crescimento econômico da região mantenha uma trajetória descendente, devido a um contexto internacional com maiores incertezas e complexidades, e a um fraco desempenho do investimento, das exportações e do consumo interno.
Assim é indicado no relatório anual Estudo Econômico da América Latina e do Caribe 2019, divulgado hoje pela Secretária-Executiva do organismo das Nações Unidas, Alicia Bárcena, em uma coletiva de imprensa realizada em Santiago, Chile.

The U.S. debt burden became heavier as a result of the unprecedented policy response to the global financial crisis and economic recession, and it has continued to grow. On March 11, the U.S. administration unveiled a US$ 4.75 trillion budget proposal that projects debt held by the public will hit US$ 22.8 trillion by 2025, more than 50% higher than in 2017, when debt held by the public was US$ 14.7 trillion. Regarding short-term prospects, total U.S. debt is expected to reach a statutory limit known as the “debt ceiling” later this year, which will require a congressional vote to raise the ce…
This article reviews the trend of investment in Chile and its relationship with economic growth since the 1973 coup d’état; and it documents how investment remains the main growth driver. Notwithstanding that fact, innovation helps to mitigate diminishing returns from natural resources, while technology-intensive investment, such as broadband infrastructure, helps to diversify the production matrix. The article shows how a persistent increase in the investment ratio in 1990–1998 supported GDP growth of 7.1% per year; but since 1999 investment has wavered, and average growth dropped to below 4%…
Se examina la evolución de la inversión en Chile y su vinculación con el crecimiento económico desde el golpe de Estado de 1973, documentándose cómo continúa siendo determinante principal del crecimiento. La innovación, por su parte, facilita la superación de rendimientos decrecientes de los recursos naturales; la inversión intensiva en tecnología, como la infraestructura de banda ancha, contribuye a diversificar la matriz productiva. Se expone cómo la persistente expansión de la tasa de inversión en 1990-1998 sustentó un crecimiento del PIB del 7,1% anual, pero desde 1999 la inversión experim…
Due to historically low internal saving rates, access to external financing is very important to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), even more so in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Public financing falls short of what is needed for this task and must be complemented with private flows, which in fact make up the bulk of the region’s external financing. The credit quality of the sovereigns in the region has an important role in determining how costly the access to private external financing can be.
This report examines the his…
