Resumen

The Fiscal Panorama of Latin America and the Caribbean 2025 analyses the developments and main trends in public revenues and expenditures, fiscal deficits, public debt and subnational fiscal accounts for the countries of the region in 2024. It confirms that with limited fiscal space, these countries continued to struggle to build up available resources and therefore faced persistent deficits and high debt levels. This report also examines tax incentive policies in dynamic sectors related to environmental sustainability and proposes strategies to increase effectiveness and strengthen governance in that regard. Moreover, it evaluates the macroeconomic effects of public investment and identifies crucial capabilities for improving efficiency, bolstering economic growth and advancing towards more inclusive and sustainable development through greater resource mobilization.
