Caribbean economies have been grappling with high debt, low growth and structural challenges which have been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has proposed the establishment of the Caribbean Resilience Fund (CRF) as a mechanism to contribute to the achievement of these critical development goals. The CRF is a special purpose financing vehicle intended to leverage long-term low-cost development financing f…

Although the notion of a circular economy (CE) has been conceived and debated for more than half a century
(Henrysson and Nuur, 2021), it has gained considerable popularity in the lexicon of economists, ecologists and
other development thinkers over the past two decades. The increasing evidence of the existential threat of
human-induced climate change and the related imperatives of decarbonizing the global economy, have led to greater focus on strategies for a more sustainable use of the natural and environmental resource base.…

Dear Chair, Excellencies, all protocols observed.
Middle-income countries, or MICs, comprise 107 states worldwide.
They constitute a large share of countries in the Arab Region, Asia Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean, and thirty out of 54 African countries are middle-income.
They represent over 75% of the world’s population and are home to 62% of the world’s poor.
They account for a third of global GDP, 45% of total investment, and 30% of total exports.
These figures speak for themselves about the importance of the MICs in the world and for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda…

Flow-of-funds accounting permit to monitor the financial sector in terms of flows and stocks and to analyze its relationship with the real sector. These show inter-sectoral financial flows, capture balance sheet positions and all financial transactions by instrument, type and economic sector. In this paper we explain the methodology for the construction of flow-of-funds accounts and we exemplify their use for two source cases of study: the Mexican Crisis (1994-1995) and the Asian Crisis (1997-1998). Using similar sources of data, the same methodology and approach for the construction of all t…
Access to credit is a key component for business development. Yet, for women in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are barriers which hinder this access, hamper women’s entrepreneurship and slow economic empowerment efforts in the region. One of these barriers is risk aversion, both as supply and demand constraint. On the supply side, financial institutions may exhibit inherent gender bias by providing lower levels of financing and higher interest rates to women entrepreneurs. On the demand side, women entrepreneurs may refrain from approaching financial institutions for fear of rejection …

The United States dollar has increased its importance as an international medium of exchange, maintained its strength as a store of value and reinforced its role as the world’s unit of account. At the same time the capital market has become a major source of funding throughout the world including for developing countries. This context has major financial implications for the United States and for those countries, mainly developing countries, that are anchored to the dollar. These implications are brought to the fore by focusing on some of the main transmission mechanisms of international finan…
