Macroeconomics
Today’s macroeconomic context is putting the region’s past socio-economic progress to the test. Current growth rates are below the previous decade and will be insufficient to close the income gap with advanced economies. Key sources of information to guide countries’ reform agendas come from the OECD Economic Outlook, the Latin America Economic Outlook and the OECD Going for Growth.
