Regional Economic Outlook, October 2019, Western Hemisphere Department

The global economy has slowed, with important consequences for growth prospects in Latin America and the Caribbean. The slowdown in economic activity has been broad-based among advanced economies and more pronounced in emerging markets and developing economies, partly reflecting trade and geopolitical tensions.

Economia globala a incetinit, cu consecinte importante pentru perspectivele de crestere din America Latina si Caraibe. Incetinirea activitatii economice a avut o baza larga in randul economiilor avansate si a fost mai pronuntata pe pietele emergente si in economiile in curs de dezvoltare, reflectand partial tensiunile comerciale si geopolitice.
