Today ECLAC released new economic projections for the countries of the region. Lower expected growth will be accompanied by higher inflation and slow employment recovery.
The region’s top three SLB issuers were Brazil (60%), Mexico (28%) and Chile (8%), and the top three sectors transportation (26%), forestry and paper (23%) and food and beverage (22%).
In its annual report Preliminary Overview of the Economies 2021, ECLAC emphasizes that 2022 will be a year of major challenges for growth, job creation and tackling the pandemic’s social toll.
