Despite persistent headwinds, the Caribbean sees a robust post-pandemic recovery
Despite recent improvements, the Caribbean region is still grappling with headwinds affecting social dynamics, fiscal outcomes, and economic growth. Global commodity prices—particularly for food and energy—remain volatile and above pre-pandemic levels, straining household budgets. While true that tourism dependent economies have seen this crucial sector recover, and commodity exporting governments have benefited from elevated prices, many citizens—particularly the most vulnerable— remain under strain.

Los desafíos para la recuperación de Venezuela y el impacto del COVID-19
El colapso en que se encuentra la economía venezolana no tiene precedentes. La economía se contrajo un 70% entre 2013 y 2019, a lo que se sumaría una reducción esperada del 30% en 2020, lo que la hace que se trate de una de las mayores crisis económicas del mundo. Como parte de esta crisis, ha habido una estrepitosa caída del poder adquisitivo de los hogares, con un consiguiente incremento de la pobreza y de la desigualdad. Asimismo, otros indicadores sociales, como los relacionados con la alimentación y la salud, se han deteriorado sustancialmente y la provisión de servicios básicos se ha desmoronado. La pandemia del COVID-19 impacta de forma importante en el país, y la capacidad de reacción por parte del sector público es muy limitada. Los recursos fiscales son muy escasos para proveer alimentos a la población y la condición del sector salud es acuciante. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo resumir las explicaciones que subyacen a la debacle económica del país desde antes de la pandemia del COVID-19, analizar los impactos de la pandemia sobre el país y también delinear, para el corto y el mediano plazo, acciones prioritarias orientadas a la emergencia sanitaria y a la recuperación de la economía.
