  • In 2009, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean experienced the brunt of the global financial crisis on their levels of activity.

The factors behind a more positive performance are both external and internal in nature. Amongst the former can be included the continued dynamism of some key Asian economies, whose sustained demand for products from this region has created important conditions for a recovery in exports, especially in the case of South America.
