Notes:
123 p., The factors behind a more positive performance include the continued dynamism of some key Asian economies, whose sustained demand for products from this region has created important conditions for a recovery in exports. Similarly, the recovery of the U.S. economy, though gradual, contributes to a better scenario for Mexico, Central America and, to the extent that raises the demand for tourism, possibly also for the Caribbean. For the latter, some recovery is projected in remittances from that country by migrant workers in the region.

57 p., Conveys three key messages: first, in this new global economic environment, key structural characteristics of Latin American and Caribbean countries are defining two quite different regional clusters in terms of opportunities and challenges ahead. Second, substantial changes in trade and capital flow patterns, as well as in the international financial architecture, are already taking place and will impact the regional clusters in different ways. Third, economic policy design will have to accommodate these differences in order to ensure widespread and stable growth.

Notes:
93 p., "To capture how alternative paths for the main participants in the world economy impact Latin America and the Caribbean, this report describes the maze of connections between the Region and the rest of the world, and provides an analysis of the most relevant topics within this labyrinth of connections. Our aim is to consider how Latin America and the Caribbean may fare under different paths taken by the world economy. On the whole, we are optimistic about the Region's prospects. And while we hope for the best, the Region should plan for the worst. In the pages that follow, the Region's resilience and potential reaction to possible shocks is assessed; on this basis, recommendations are proposed." --The Author
