The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Friday announced that it present its Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean 2026 on August 20.
It said growth and productivity amid high informality, constraints and challenges in fostering productive formalization in the region is one of the institution’s flagship annual reports, which examines the evolution of the region’s economies and will present growth projections for 2026 and 2027.
ECLAC said that the publication analyses regional economic performance in 2025 and the early months of 2026, along with the external and domestic factors that constrain growth prospects.
It said that the report addresses topics including the international context, external accounts, economic activity and the evolution of employment, inflation and fiscal and monetary policies in the region, providing updated growth projections for each of Latin America and the Caribbean’s countries and regional statistical annexes.
The special subject featured in the latest survey is the close relationship between growth, labour productivity and informality.
It said starting from this analysis, the report also poses the need to promote strategies for productive formalization that, in addition to improving the quality of employment and expanding social protection, would strengthen people’s and businesses’ productive capacities and contribute to increasing the growth capacity of the region’s economies.
ECLAC’s Executive Secretary, José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, will launch the report using an in-person and virtual format. (CMC)
