As a preliminary phase of action in response to the ECLAC resolution which calls for greater inclusion of the associate members in the work of the Commission, this study sought to accomplish three outcomes. Firstly, the study explored the common development challenges of the non-sovereign associate members (AMs) of ECLAC which served as impediments to the economic and social development of the AMs, and identified priorities which fostered and advanced their development aspirations. Secondly, in light of the recent incremental changes in the political status that had occurred in many of those t…

Only by combining initiatives and efforts will the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean be able to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), since what is needed is global governance and new partnerships between States, their citizens and the private sector. In responding to that imperative, South-South cooperation can and must make a significant contribution, says the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).

Caribbean countries have been seriously impacted by the trend toward “de-risking” in the global financial system, and this is damaging to their economic security and the ability of Caribbean businesses to innovate. De-risking is the name given to the tendency of banking institutions to turn away from working relationships and lines of business for which the cost of regulatory compliance—and the risk of non-compliance— is deemed to be too high in comparison to the returns.
