3 International economic context and regional impact The deceleration of China most strongly affects exporters of natural resources (South America), who have a greater capacity to react (fiscal space) The dynamism of the U.S. economy is benefitting to a greater degree Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, but these have less capacity to react (fiscal space) when faced with a possible fiscal cliff The recession in Europe has had a varying impact: In South America, lower exports were registered (Brazil, Chile and Uruguay) as well as a drop in remittances (Ecuador, Colombia), although these countries do have a greater capacity to react to these adverse developments In Mexico and some Central American countries there was an increase in exports, despite the contraction of the European economy Most affected countries (South America) have a greater capacity to react, but there are risks to Central America and the Caribbean

28 Conclusions and recommendations
29 A slight deceleration in 2012 and a modest recovery in 2013 World economic growth continues to slow in the second semester of 2012 and the first semester of 2013 The main transmission mechanism of the international situation to Latin America and the Caribbean is the trade channel The region will maintain economic growth in 2012, albeit lower than that recorded in 2011, of about 3.2%, with Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay having the lowest growth rates Growth is expected to recover somewhat in 2013, especially due to stronger growth in Brazil
30 The (varied) country outlook will depend on the external situation and on the capacity to respond The South American countries that could potentially be the most affected by a deceleration in China and a contraction in the European Union also count with a greater capacity to respond (fiscal space and the use of macroprudential measures) Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean are benefitting more from the precarious recovery of the United States, but: Central America, and especially the Caribbean (due to less fiscal space) would be more vulnerable to an extreme fiscal adjustment in the United States While an expansive monetary policy in the United States could moderate the impact of fiscal adjustment, it would also contribute to an exchange rate appreciation in emerging market economies
31 Towards a structural change for equality The experience of Latin America and the Caribbean during highlights the importance of integrated macroeconomic policies (fiscal, monetary, exchange rate, macroprudential) that are closely coordinated with industrial policies as well as social and labour policies, and trade policies with an emphasis in increased open regionalism, in order to: Guarantee a relatively stable growth trajectory of output, quality employment, and investment, and Contribute to a structural change for equality: closing productive gaps based in technological innovation and environmental sustainability
