Preliminary overview of the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2016

Highlights a regional slowdown in GDP growth. This publication argues that the currency depreciation seen in several countries in the region could, if sustained, increase incentives for investment in tradeable sectors other than the region's traditional exports (commodities), while redirecting expenditure to ease pressure on the current account.

Evidentiaza o incetinire regionala a cresterii PIB. Aceasta publicatie sustine ca deprecierea valutara observata in mai multe tari din regiune ar putea, daca este sustinuta, sa sporeasca stimulentele pentru investitii in sectoare tranzactionabile, altele decat exporturile traditionale (marfuri) din regiune, in timp ce redirectioneaza cheltuielile pentru a usura presiunea asupra contului curent.
