International Trade Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean, 2025: International trade in a new era of weaponized interdependence. Executive summary
No full textThis edition of the International Trade Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean analyses the sea change in United States trade policy in 2025, which is set against the backdrop of the weaponized interdependence occurring in the wider global economy. Although its impact on global and regional trade in 2025 has not been as pronounced as anticipated at the beginning of the year, projections for 2026 point to a marked slowdown. In general, exports from the region to the United States are subject to lower tariffs than those imposed on most of its main competitors, but this could change depending on trade balance trends or even factors beyond economics. In this context, the governments of the region should diversify trade relations and strengthen regional economic integration.
This edition also examines the region’s low share of global exports of high-technology goods and human capital-intensive services. To increase that share, productive policies and factors of production (science and technology, digital transformation, human talent, among others) are essential, as is closing the gaps in technical, operative, political and prospective capabilities of institutions in the countries of the region.Presentation .-- Executive summary .-- A.

Overview of carbon pricing policies in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2025: an analysis of their effectiveness and guidelines for implementation
No full textThis document presents an overview of carbon pricing policies in Latin America and the Caribbean. It focuses on the characteristics of carbon pricing instruments, both explicit, such as carbon taxes and emissions trading systems, and implicit, such as fuel taxes, the social price of carbon and the reduction of fossil fuel subsidies. The document also provides an analysis of the effects of related policies (e.g. subsidies and elasticities) on the effectiveness of carbon pricing, and includes the estimation of an econometric model that measures the effectiveness of carbon pricing in terms of reducing emissions. The results of this estimation identify a statistical link between the carbon tax rate and a reduction in emissions in the five countries of the region that implement a carbon tax. However, to ensure that carbon taxes are an effective public policy instrument for reducing emissions, they must be coordinated and consistent with other policies.Abstract .-- Introduction .-- I. Carbon pricing policies in Latin America and the Caribbean .-- II. The effectiveness of carbon pricing .-- III. Technical, operational, political and prospective capabilities for the design and implementation of carbon pricing .-- IV. Guidelines for enhancing the design and implementation of carbon pricing .-- V. Conclusions

No full textWho provides childcare?: analysing the distribution of care work in Mexico
Full text linkUsing the care diamond framework proposed by Shahra Razavi, we analyse paid and unpaid care (especially childcare) in Mexico on the basis of four provider categories: family or household, the State, the market and the non-profit sector. Our work combines two main types of data: descriptive statistics and published studies based on empirical research and in-depth policy analysis. We offer a comprehensive description of childcare distribution in Mexico, outlining the four provider categories and institutional and private arrangements that support social reproduction. We highlight the weak public provision of childcare, which worsens inequality among women and families of different socioeconomic strata and increases low-income women’s dependence on unpaid childcare in order to work or reliance on the market to expand childcare through private services outside and inside the household. Our work shows the suitability and potential of the care diamond for analysis of societies with weak welfare systems.Abstract .-- Introduction .-- I.
