Perspectivas económicas regionales: Hemisferio Occidental
Las perspectivas económicas para América Latina y el Caribe continúan siendo particularmente desafiantes. Se proyecta que el crecimiento regional disminuirá por quinto año consecutivo en 2015, ubicándose ligeramente por debajo del 1 por ciento. El debilitamiento económico se concentra en los países exportadores de materias primas de América del Sur, donde el descenso de los precios internacionales de las materias primas ha exacerbado los desafíos específicos que enfrentan algunos países. Mientras tanto, se proyecta que el crecimiento en gran parte de América Central, la región del Caribe y México se mantenga estable o se fortalezca, respaldado por una reducción de la factura petrolera para los importadores y una robusta recuperación económica en Estados Unidos. Este informe analiza los desafíos fundamentales que enfrenta la región: el impacto de la caída de los precios de las materias primas en las posiciones fiscales y externas en la región, los factores que explican la marcada desaceleración de la inversión, y la importancia de la diversificación económica para las perspectivas de crecimiento a más largo plazo.
