Economic indicators and projections

The Division works to develop economic indicators for the region, such as measures of potential GDP and productivity, real exchange-rate indices and leading indicators of economic activity. The Division also prepares economic projections for each country in Latin America and the Caribbean, which are then used as an input for ECLAC publications.
