Autor institucional: NU. CEPAL Physical Description: 10 páginas. Editorial: ECLAC Date: August 2023

Description

Industrial policy today remains as important as ever for Latin America and the Caribbean. Moving towards development requires a rational, inclusive and sustainable industrial policy guided by the intensive use of information, enabling the definition and dissemination of indicators that are useful for decision-making.

The Statistics Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), with the support of national statistical offices, has been building a database of economic surveys to compile annual basic statistics for calculating statistical indicators on the manufacturing industry, which are disseminated through CEPALSTAT, the data portal of ECLAC.

Currently, BADECON contains data on indicators such as value added, employment, electricity consumption and hours worked for the manufacturing industry in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico and Uruguay.
