Although Chinese corporations were relatively unknown in Latin America until a few years ago, their direct
investments in the region have averaged about US$10 billion per year since 2010. Their presence and economic
leverage have become very significant in many industries and countries of the region, but their motivation, strategy
and procedures are not always well understood by Latin America’s governments, businesses and civil society.
Similarly, Chinese companies still need to gain a better understanding of Latin America’s business environment
and opportunities.

El año 2011 ha sido testigo de la progresiva consolidación de la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (UNASUR), como organismo de integración de liderazgo regional, mediante la ratificación y entrada en vigencia de su tratado constitutivo, firmado en mayo de 2008 en Brasilia.

In mid-2011, conditions deteriorated in the industrialized
economies. Early in the year, instability in North Africa
combined with other factors to push up fuel prices. Then,
in March, the tragedy of the earthquake, tsunami and
nuclear disaster in Japan damaged global production chains.
Although the impacts of these factors eased in the second
semester, concern mounted over the threat of default in
Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the repercussions of
such an event for larger European economies. In late July,
the difficulties in securing congressional approval on the
United States public debt …
A mediados de 2011, empeoran las condiciones de las economías industrializadas. A inicios de año, la inestabilidad en el norte de África, sumada a otros factores, provocó un aumento del precio de los combustibles. En marzo, la tragedia en el Japón -el terremoto, el tsunami y la catástrofe nuclear- afectó las cadenas de suministro global en la industria. Ya iniciado el segundo semestre, mientras se atenuaba el efecto de estos factores, se reavivaron las inquietudes por los temores de incumplimiento (default) en Grecia, Irlanda y Portugal y las repercusiones en otras economías europeas de mayo…

This document focuses on recent developments in trade between China and the Latin American and Caribbean region with respect to countries, sectors and goods, as well as Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in the region. Attention is drawn to the important role China has played in the past few years as an importer of products from Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly in the context of the general slowdown of the region's exports during 2009. The analysis also confirms the essentially inter-industrial relationship between China and the region, which is based on China exporting …
En este documento se examina la evolución reciente del comercio entre China y América Latina y el Caribe en términos de países, sectores y productos, así como la inversión extranjera directa (IED) china en la región. Destaca en dicho análisis el papel que China ha asumido en los últimos años como principal fuente de crecimiento de las exportaciones de América Latina y el Caribe, incluso en el contexto de la fuerte desaceleración que sufrieron en 2009. Se ratifica además el carácter esencialmente interindustrial del comercio entre la región y China, en virtud del cual las exportaciones chinas e…

This paper analyses recent trends and future prospects in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), an incomplete customs union of 15 States in the Caribbean that includes most English speaking countries in the region plus Haiti and Suriname. In these small economies, the promotion of exports is of utmost importance, as in the medium term these are the only means to pay for the import of capital goods, intermediate inputs and technology necessary to build up their economic infrastructure. This study reviews first the progress made with reforms to complete the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) …
Given the risks the world economy is still facing and the ascendancy of Brazil and India as major growth poles of the global economy, government authorities in Latin America and the Caribbean should redouble their efforts to identify and capitalize upon the potential complementarities created by greater integration with the BRICs. In view of the inter-industrial nature of trade between India and Latin America including Brazil, the region should seek to create partnerships between its firms and successful Indian companies, in order to gain access to supply chains that produce more complex, tech…
The global economic crisis has put an end to a period of worldwide expansion and halted the integration of Latin America and developing Asia with the international economy. Current and expected economic weakness in the advanced economies has led us to look elsewhere for sources of growth. Emerging economies in Asia and Latin America have increased their contributions to world production, finance, and trade in the past decades. In doing so, the two regions have deepened their economic ties with significant implications for the recovery of their respective economies. In this paper we discuss the…
