International Trade Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean, 2024. Executive summary. Accessible version
No full textThis edition of the International Trade Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean analyses how the complex global context, marked by increased protectionism, geopolitical tensions and shipping disruptions, is affecting the region’s international trade. It examines the role of international trade in regional food security —and the lack thereof, especially in the Caribbean— despite the region being the world’s leading net food exporter. It also analyses the role of modern services as a driver of exports. Recommendations for the development of modern services include reducing restrictions, harmonizing regulations, developing sectoral policies, advancing digital transformation and attracting foreign direct investment. The importance of productive integration cannot be overstated if the region is to strengthen food security, increase trade in modern services and, at the same time, improve the diversification of the region’s export basket.Presentation .-- Exe cutive summary .-- A.

Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, 2024. Executive summary. Accessible version
No full textLatin America and the Caribbean is mired in a decades-long growth trap, and further hampered by global and regional conditions that limit the space for macroeconomic policies to spur economic growth in the region. The results of the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, 2024 reveal weaker job creation, especially in the formal sector, with young people, women, older persons, migrants and rural dwellers among the most likely to be informal workers. In addition, an intensification of climate change effects will drastically reduce the number of jobs created in the medium term if mitigation and adaptation policies are not adopted. To address these challenges and soften the impact on labour markets, the region must harmonize productive development, employment and macroeconomic policies, together with effective climate change adaptation and mitigation measures. This will require a significant increase in public and private investment, along with structural reforms to foster sustainable and equitable economic growth.A.

Sustainable inland transport connectivity indicators: Plurinational State of Bolivia, 2024
Get PDFThe Sustainable Inland Transport Connectivity Indicators (SITCIN) evaluate the efficiency of transport systems and the alignment of legal frameworks with international legal instruments for transport and border-crossing facilitation. SITCIN enables countries to track their progress in areas such as the implementation of regional or international conventions on transport, harmonization of national rules with UN legal instruments, achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Vienna Programme of Action. This tool was developed as part of the United Nations Development Account (UNDA) project, titled “Sustainable transport connectivity and implementation of transportrelated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in selected landlocked and transit/bridging countries”. The project was led by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for West Asia (ESCWA).
This report assesses 101 SITCIN indicators related to road and inland waterway transport in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, covering three of the six SITCIN chapters: (i) Border Crossing Facilitation, (ii) Transport Infrastructure and (iii) Safety and Security. The report provides a SWOT analysis for all covered chapters and, where applicable, outlines the legal Bolivia (Plurinational State of) must implement after ratifying the Accession Protocol to the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR).Abstract .-- Introduction .-- I.

Panorama del desarrollo territorial de América Latina y el Caribe, 2024: nuevas capacidades para la transformación territorial
Get PDFEl actual contexto de crisis en cascada que experimenta el mundo, y la región, plantea grandes incertidumbres y desafíos para el estilo o modelo de desarrollo vigente de América Latina y el Caribe, el cual se encuentra inmerso en tres dilemas o trampas. a) la trampa del crecimiento, b) la trampa de la desigualdad y, c) la trampa de la baja capacidad institucional y de gobernanza efectiva. Una perspectiva transformadora del estilo de desarrollo, como la planteada por CEPAL, coloca entonces a las desigualdades territoriales como un problema de gran relevancia que requiere ser enfrentado desde perspectivas que consideren distintas escalas o niveles de gobierno (multinivel), la diversidad de agentes sociales (multiactor), la integración de diversos sectores (multisectorial), y diversas temporalidades (corto, mediano y largo plazo). Ello coloca al centro de las preocupaciones los temas de la gobernanza, el diálogo social y la construcción de futuros, bajo un enfoque que apunte a fortalecer capacidades de distinta naturaleza —técnicas, operativas, políticas y prospectivas— como se propone por parte de CEPAL.Introducción .-- I. Transformaciones latinoamericanas, crisis en cascada y perspectivas para un desarrollo inclusivo .-- II. Desigualdades territoriales en América Latina y el Caribe: tendencias recientes .-- III.
