Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2023 edition of the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, the seventy-fifth issue, outlines the region's economic performance in 2022 and analyses trends in the early months of 2023, as well as the outlook for growth for the year and for 2024. It highlights the external and domestic factors that have influenced the region's economic performance and how these factors will affect economic growth in the coming years. Part II of this edition analyses the macroeconomic repercussions of climate change on the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean and the potential financial mechanisms for facilitating the investment needed to make economies resilient and drive dynamic, sustained and sustainable growth. The estimations presented in chapter II suggest that owing to the intensification of climate shocks, by 2050, the gross domestic product (GDP) of six countries of the region that are highly exposed to climate change risks could be between 9% and 12% lower than under a business-as-usual growth scenario. Fully offsetting these economic losses would require an exceptionally large additional investment effort, of between 5.3% of GDP and 10.9% of GDP per year. In view of the magnitude of this investment effort, chapter III posits the need for a framework with multiple sources of financing to ensure greater mobilization of domestic and external resources. Chapter IV explores the role that central banks and financial supervisors can play in addressing climate risks and strengthening sustainable financing and investment. The report also notes that decisive action is needed to align the requisite financial flows with national climate goals, by expanding the financing mechanisms available for financial intermediation, adjusting the management of central banks' asset portfolios to make them sustainable and supporting initiatives that foster the development of sustainable capital markets.

This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published since 1948, This is the sixty-eighth edition of the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, which corresponds to the year 2016, consists of three parts. Part I outlines the region’s economic performance in 2015 and analyses trends in the first half of 2016, as well as the outlook for the rest of the year. It examines the external and internal factors influencing the region’s economic performance and highlights some of the macroeconomic policy challenges that have arisen in an external context of weak growth and high levels of uncertainty. Part II analyses the challenges that the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean face at the domestic and international levels in mobilizing financing for development. On the domestic front, slower growth and tighter fiscal restrictions pose significant challenges for the mobilization of resources. Externally, the classification of many of the region’s countries in the middle-income category limits their access to concessional external financing or international support. Part III of this publication contains the notes relating to the economic performance of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2015 and the first half of 2016, together with their respective statistical annexes. The cut-off date for updating the statistical information in this publication was 30 June 2016.
