NewzThe Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has revised its regional economic growth forecast for 2026, lowering the projection to 2.2%. This figure represents a decrease of one-tenth of a percentage point from the estimate previously issued by the United Nations body in December.
Looking beyond the current year, the commission anticipates a partial recovery in regional growth to 2.5% in 2027. However, ECLAC officials have cautioned that the current trajectory of economic expansion remains insufficient to meet the region's long-term development needs.
