The Statistics Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), with the support of national statistical offices, has been building a database of economic surveys to compile annual basic statistics for calculating statistical indicators on the manuf…

Latin American and Caribbean bond activity in international markets recovered strongly towards the end of the first half of 2023, with a total of US$ 50 billion placed in the period. This figure was 9% higher than in the year-earlier period and 158% higher than in the second half of 2022. Decelerating inflation and currency appreciation supported the upturn in bond activity, as did the pause in increases in the benchmark interest rate decided by the United States Federal Reserve at its meeting on 13 and 14 June following 10 consecutive hikes. There was a flurry of new bond issuances in the las…
In 2022, the main labour indicators for the region —participation rate, unemployment rate, employment rate and number of employed— recovered and returned to 2019 levels. Employment policies that, since 2020, were aimed at job creation in general shifted in 2021 to target the segments hardest-hit by the pandemic, further boosting the recovery in employment in the economy as a whole and among young people and women in particular.
A return to pre-pandemic levels is not enough. High levels of informal employment and wide gender gaps persist, and wages and productivity have returned to pre-pandemic…
En 2022 los principales indicadores laborales de la región —tasa de participación, tasa de desocupación, tasa de ocupación y número de ocupados— se recuperaron y llegaron a valores de 2019. Las políticas que desde 2020 promovieron la creación de puestos de trabajo y que en 2021 pasaron de la generalización a la focalización en los segmentos más afectados por la pandemia contribuyeron a la mayor recuperación de los niveles de ocupación de la economía en su conjunto y, en especial, entre los jóvenes y las mujeres.
Volver a los niveles de la prepandemia no es suficiente. Aún persisten elevados ni…

It examines options for strengthening personal income tax, to boost its revenues and redistributive potential. In a context of mounting pressure on public spending, it is vital to take strategic approach, …
En 2022 la situación fiscal de América Latina y el Caribe se caracterizó por el aumento de los ingresos públicos y la reducción del gasto público, que dieron lugar a menores déficits fiscales. No obstante, la deuda pública se mantiene en niveles elevados. En este contexto, en la presente edición del Panorama Fiscal de América Latina y el Caribe se propone una política fiscal para el crecimiento, la redistribución y la transformación productiva. Para ello, se examinan opciones para fortalecer el impuesto sobre la renta de las personas físicas, con el objetivo de ampliar su potencial recaudatori…
The United States economy grew by 2.1% in 2022. Consumer spending was the main driver of growth. The economic outlook improved in the second half of 2022, following two quarters of negative growth, and this momentum has carried over into early 2023. The labour market was strong in 2022 and continued to show strength in early 2023. Inflation rose to 8% in 2022, the highest annual level in four decades, but slowed to 5% in March 2023. The Federal Reserve approved nine interest rate increases between March 2022 and March 2023 to tame inflation. March 2023 saw heightened market stress owing to ban…
The economies of Latin America and the Caribbean are facing a complex external scenario in 2023, marked by low growth in economic activity and global trade. In addition, the interest rate hikes carried out globally were compounded by the financial turbulence seen in early March, which has increased uncertainty and volatility in financial markets. Although inflationary pressures have slowed, monetary policy rates are expected to remain high throughout 2023 in the main developed economies.
In this context of growing external uncertainties and domestic restrictions, ECLAC expects the slowdown in …
Las economías de América Latina y el Caribe enfrentan en 2023 un complejo escenario externo, marcado por bajo crecimiento en la actividad económica y del comercio mundial. Adicionalmente, a las alzas experimentadas por las tasas de interés a nivel mundial se agregaron las turbulencias financieras observadas a comienzos de marzo lo que ha acentuado la incertidumbre y volatilidad de los mercados financieros. Si bien se han desacelerado las presiones inflacionarias, cabe esperar que las tasas de política monetaria permanezcan altas a lo largo del 2023 en las principales economías desarrolla…
As economias da América Latina e do Caribe enfrentam em 2023 um complexo cenário externo, marcado por baixo crescimento da atividade econômica e do comércio mundial. Além disso, os aumentos experimentados pelas taxas de juros no âmbito mundial se somaram as turbulências financeiras observadas no início de março, o que acentuou a incerteza e a volatilidade dos mercados financeiros. Embora as pressões inflacionárias tenham se desacelerado, cabe esperar que as taxas de política monetária permaneçam altas durante 2023 nas principais economias desenvolvidas.
Neste contexto de crescente incer…
