Abstract
This, the sixty-seventh edition of the Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, which corresponds to the year 2015, consists of three parts. Part I outlines the region’s economic performance in 2014 and analyses trends in the first half of 2015, as well as the outlook for the rest of the year. It examines the external and internal factors influencing the economic slowdown and highlights some of the challenges facing macroeconomic policymakers, particularly the need to boost investment as both a central pillar of the economic recovery and as an engine of growth in the medium and long term.
