This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este número de Perspectivas de la economía mundial se examina cómo el impresionante deterioro de la crisis financiera de septiembre de 2008 provocó una contracción sin precedentes en la actividad y el comercio, a pesar de las enérgicas medidas adoptadas. Se presentan las proyecciones económicas para 2009 y 2010. También se mira más allá de la crisis actual y se examinan los factores que configurarán el panorama de la economía mundial en el mediano plazo, a medida que empresas y hogares intentan reparar los daños. El análisis también menciona los importantes retos de política económica que plantea la necesidad imperiosa de adoptar todas las medidas necesarias para recuperar la estabilidad financiera y reanimar la economía mundial, y la necesidad a más largo plazo de que los países adopten medidas de apoyo recíproco. El primero de los dos capítulos analíticos, “Qué tipo de recuperación económica”, analiza la forma que terminaría por adoptar una recuperación. El segundo capítulo, “Transmisión de tensiones financieras de las economías avanzadas a las emergentes”, se centra en la función que desempeñan los vínculos financieros externos y las tensiones financieras en la transmisión de los shocks económicos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La economía mundial creció vigorosamente en el primer semestre de 2007, aunque la turbulencia en los mercados financieros ha empañado las perspectivas. Aunque el pronóstico para 2007 se ha visto poco afectado, la proyección de base con respecto al crecimiento mundial en 2008 se ha reducido casi medio punto porcentual con respecto al presentado en la actualización de las perspectivas de la economía mundial, en julio de 2007. Aun así, se alcanzaría con un sólido crecimiento mundial de 4 3/4%, respaldado por los sanos fundamentos económicos y el fuerte impulso de las economías de mercados emergentes. Sin embargo, las perspectivas están claramente sujetas a riesgos a la baja, centrados en torno a la preocupación de que se profundicen las tensiones en los mercados financieros y provoquen una desaceleración mundial más pronunciada. Por lo tanto, en lo inmediato las autoridades deben centrar la atención es restablecer condiciones más normales en los mercados y salvaguardar la expansión. Otros riesgos que se ciernen sobre las perspectivas se derivan de las posibles presiones inflacionarias, la volatilidad en los mercados de petróleo y el impacto en los mercados emergentes de una fuerte afluencia de divisas. Al mismo tiempo, problemas a más largo plazo, como el envejecimiento de la población, la creciente resistencia a la globalización y el calentamiento global, también son motivo de preocupación.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La expansión mundial está perdiendo impulso en el contexto de una crisis financiera de gran envergadura. La desaceleración ha sido mayor en las economías avanzadas, sobre todo en Estados Unidos, donde la corrección del mercado inmobiliario continúa exacerbando las turbulencias. Hasta ahora, las economías emergentes y en desarrollo se han visto menos afectadas por los acontecimientos en los mercados financieros y han seguido creciendo a un ritmo acelerado, lideradas por China e India, aunque la actividad está comenzando a desacelerarse en algunos países. Al mismo tiempo, el nivel general de inflación ha aumentado en todo el mundo, impulsado por el continuo repunte de los precios de los alimentos y la energía. En todo el mundo las autoridades se enfrentan a un conjunto de desafíos de índole diversa y en rápida evolución, y aunque las circunstancias de cada país son diferentes, en un mundo cada vez más multipolar será esencial afrontar esos desafíos de manera amplia, teniendo plenamente en cuenta las interacciones transfronterizas. En Perspectivas de la economía mundial se presentan análisis y proyecciones del personal técnico del FMI sobre la evolución económica a escala mundial, en grupos generales de países (clasificados por región, grado de desarrollo, etc.) y en muchos países individuales. El estudio se centra en las principales cuestiones de política económica y en el análisis de la evolución y las perspectivas de la economía. Este informe suele prepararse dos veces al año, como documentación para las reuniones del Comité Monetario y Financiero Internacional, y es el principal instrumento de las actividades de supervisión mundial que realiza el FMI.

Download or read book Inclusive Growth written by Jordi Prat and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central America and the Dominican Republic had stable economic growth in 2017. The performance of the United States economy and low commodity prices, mainly oil, meant that the key indicators for the region did not change abruptly. It is worth noting that safeguarding the stability of public finances remains the main challenge for the region. In the short run, we expect the fiscal deficit and public debt to maintain their upward trend, thus putting pressure on interest rates, which would have a negative impact on economic growth. This trend has implied in downward revisions to the region’s economic outlook. Growth in the region has been higher than the rest of Latin America, but its impact on reducing poverty and improve income distribution, has been limited. The report explores options to make growth more inclusive in Central America and the Dominican Republic. It highlights the need to bolster human capital accumulation, take advantage of integration with other trade partners, and generate buffers for political decision-making in a highly uncertain environment, in order ensure that growth can benefit the highest number of people in the region.
