The 18th edition of the Latin American Economic Outlook presents policy options for a greener, more inclusive regional production structure and examines financing mechanisms to support this transformation. It highlights the need for development strategies that promote formal job creation and strengthen local capacities and strategic sectors, while aligning production structures with global standards and demands.The report’s recommendations focus on improved implementation of productive development policies; innovative financial instruments; a renewed role for development finance institutions; and revitalised international partnerships to mobilise resources and support capacity building. Together, these priorities can drive the region’s transition towards resilient, knowledge-intensive production systems that underpin inclusive and sustainable growth.
The Caribbean Development Dynamics is a new joint flagship report by the Development Centre of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). It advocates for a shift in perspective on the Caribbean’s development prospects: beyond the assessment of challenges, it casts light on the region’s opportunities, based on fresh, comparable data, and provides policy recommendations. Its regional perspective highlights policy options and areas of common interest, while acknowledging regional diversity as a unique asset. This inaugural edition adopts a multi-dimensional approach to analysing key development trends.
