2 Economic trends in the region continue to be marked by: Uncertainty and risk in the global economy: External demand remains sluggish, which reflects low growth rates of GDP and international trade Volatility in financial and foreign exchange markets Commodities prices remain low Within a heterogeneous regional context there have been: Declines in domestic demand (investment and consumption) Rising fiscal constraints Strong currency depreciations Increases in the unemployment rate and a slowdown in domestic credit

21 In conclusion The region confronts an external context of slow growth and rising uncertainties. GDP is expected to contract (-0.9%) for the second year in a row, albeit with important subregional and country level differences: South America (-2.2%), Central America (3.7%), English-speaking Caribbean (-0.3%). Inflation and employment dynamics also exhibit differences between the economies of the north and the south of the region. Returning to a path of growth requires reversing the fall observed in public and private investment. Productivity growth is also a key challenge for advancing on a path of growth that is dynamic and stable.
