En los últimos años el sector externo del estado de Mato Grosso viene exhibiendo un impresionante dinamismo. Las exportaciones per cápita de dicho Estado son tres veces superiores a las de China. Este fenómeno parece estar a punto de superar una de las principales barreras para la integración sudamericana: el antagonismo Atlántico-Pacífico. La hipótesis que se analiza en este número del Boletín FAL es que ciertos “cambios tectónicos” exógenos y endógenos están sucediendo en 5 estados de Brasil, y se han agudizado desde hace algún tiempo, van a permitir finalmente hacer viables los corredores b…
This document, which was prepared as part of a collaborative project between the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), provides a methodology for disaggregating electric and conventional buses into their parts, in order to analyse international trade flows in electromobility components. The vectors developed are based on the 2017 version of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and include all parts needed to build electric or conventional (diesel) buses. The vectors capture global tra…
The dashboard presented here was developed in the framework of a collaboration project between ECLAC and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on electromobility in Latin America. The dashboard represents the visualization of a methodology proposed for analysing trade flows in electric bus components in Latin America and worldwide in order to evaluate the productive capacity of Latin American countries in this area. The required components have accordingly been disaggregated into three levels: processed and semi-processed components and raw materials. The dashboard capt…

Presentation by Alicia Bárcena, ECLAC’s Executive Secretary.
Latin America and the Caribbean’s international trade will experience a significant rebound in 2021 after the sharp drop recorded last year, but this recovery will be asymmetrical and very heterogenous between the region’s countries, in a context of great uncertainty due to the crisis stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) indicated today in a new annual report.
The United Nations regional commission released its flagship report International Trade Outlook for Latin A…

This publication aims to analyse the policies and initiatives implemented by the governments of eight countries in the region as well as India, with special emphasis on governance.
