Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean Rose by 55.2% in 2022, Reaching a Historic High

In 2022, Latin America and the Caribbean received $224.579 billion dollars in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), a figure that is 55.2% above 2021 levels and marks the highest value on record, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) revealed today. This result is mainly attributable to the increase in FDI in some countries, particularly in Brazil; to growth in all the components of FDI, especially earnings reinvestment; and to the increase in FDI in the services sector. This dynamic is consistent with the post-pandemic recovery and it is unclear whether it will stay a…

La inversión extranjera directa en América Latina y el Caribe aumentó un 55,2% en 2022, alcanzando su máximo valor histórico

En 2022 ingresaron a América Latina y el Caribe 224.579 millones de dólares de inversión extranjera directa (IED), cifra un 55,2% superior a la registrada en 2021 y el máximo valor desde que se lleva registro, informó hoy la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL). Este resultado se explicaría principalmente por el aumento de la IED en algunos países, en particular en Brasil; por el crecimiento de todos los componentes de la IED, especialmente la reinversión de utilidades; y por el alza de la IED en el sector de servicios. Esta dinámica es congruente con la recuperación posp…

Essa dinâmica está em consonância com a recuperação pós-pandemia e não é claro se se manterá em n…

Exploring the elements of an optimal hydrocarbon fiscal regime

The study analyzes the process for the awarding of blocks among select countries within the western hemisphere, namely Brazil, Guyana, Mexico, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The findings allow for the determination of key elements of what can be considered an optimal hydrocarbon fiscal regime for Caribbean economies that would allow governments to get their fair share of hydrocarbon rents, while ensuring sufficient exploration and production activity. The study therefore suggests that for the Caribbean, the optimal fiscal regime should include a reservation price, royalties, and a windfall …

Caribbean Outlook 3: Economic recovery and repositioning in the era of COVID-19. Policy Brief

The economies of the subregion were hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those dependent on tourism. As a result, the Caribbean has seen a reversal of the hard-won gains achieved in growing their economies and reducing unemployment and inequality. The inflation stemming from pandemic supply chain disruption, which has been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, has made the sustained uptick in economic performance beyond pre-pandemic levels unlikely, notwithstanding strong growth estimates for 2021 and 2022. The last two years have taught the region that continued ‘business as usual’ is…

Capital flows to Latin America and the Caribbean: A slowdown in 2022

Against a backdrop of tightening global financing conditions and higher global borrowing costs, Latin American and Caribbean issuers placed US$ 58.5 billion in bonds on international markets from January to October 2022, around 60% less than in the same period of 2021, with an average coupon almost 1.5% higher. The region’s international issuance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) bonds followed the broader market downturn in bond activity, particularly in the corporate sector, owing to worse macroeconomic conditions; however, it showed some resilience, slowing less markedly than ov…

Argentina’s economic relations with China and their impact on a long-term production strategy

This article analyses how trade and investment relations between Argentina and China have evolved in the post-convertibility period. In the case of trade, Argentina’s sales to China are more concentrated in the primary sector than its exports to other countries. Chinese competition has adverse effects on Argentina’s domestic production only in specific sectors, but it has caused significant displacement of Argentine exports to Brazil. In the case of foreign direct investment, Chinese FDI is driven by a quest for natural resources and generates little productive or technological spillover. Thus…
