With the intensification of economic relations between the People's Republic of China and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, Beijing's role as a development donor has expanded in the region. The transparency of the Chinese donor services are limited since the transitions between development aid, investment and trade credits and direct investments are flowing. Focal points of Chinese engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean are upgrading the infrastructure projects in the extractive and energy sectors, education and training.

Most economies in Latin America and the Caribbean were supported primarily by exports in 2005, and economic growth, though slower than in 2004, was at more than 4 % and still above the average annual growth rate from 1996-2005. While slower but still relatively robust growth is anticipated for 2006, the outlook is not particularly favorable for approaching the remarkable growth in other developing nations and regions as serious economic risks threaten development.
