If foreign investment had the same effect on trade as in peer economies, Latin America and the Caribbean's exports could be up to 20% higher, with no increase in investment. Stronger technology absorption, logistics, and business environment can help. Read the blog: https://t.co/E2NTkK9Mwr

MENAP growth is projected to contract by about 1.3% in 2026. Assuming the conflict eases and trade gradually normalizes, growth could rebound to 6.6% in 2027. The economic impact of the war has been highly uneven. https://t.co/5Jkk0COhsO

Latin America and the Caribbean's FDI stock equals 44% of GDP, vs. 25% in emerging Asia and 21% in emerging Europe.
Yet trade integration remains weaker. Why hasn't more FDI meant more exports? Our new REO chapter explains: https://t.co/UbuFsVxvtF

Today at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in Lima, Nigel Chalk, Director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, launched a new chapter of our Regional Economic Outlook.

Latin America and the Caribbean attracts plenty of foreign investment. With the right policies, the region can turn that investment into more exports, higher productivity, and better living standards.

The chapter looks at what helps foreign investment deliver more: stronger capacity among local firms to adopt new technologies and know-how, more efficient logistics, and lower barriers to trade and investment.

At the 13th Camdessus Lecture, @Bank_of_Japan_e Governor Ueda explained how Japan evolved from a workshop of the world into a financier to the world, as investment abroad replaced exports as the main source of income. https://t.co/N6P6VueY7P

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Large & rising global imbalances deserve close attention. History shows that widening imbalances can contribute to fragile growth, economic dislocations & financial risks. Addressing their underlying causes is vital for global stability. Watch my remarks: https://t.co/VlN26bQOoQ

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Central banks are navigating a difficult environment of higher energy prices, inflation pressures and rapid AI investment. At this year's Camdessus lecture, I stressed the need to preserve price stability and safeguard hard-won policy credibility. https://t.co/VlN26bQOoQ

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Thank you, @Bank_of_Japan_e Governor Ueda, for a remarkable Camdessus Lecture and a conversation on lessons from Japan's current account surplus.

Oil-exporting economies in the Middle East have seen a sharp slowdown in economic activity due to disruptions to energy production and shipping. Higher energy prices have helped cushion the blow, but economic strains remain significant. https://t.co/5Jkk0COhsO

Growth in the MENAP region is projected to contract by 1.3% in 2026, nearly 3 percentage points below April's forecast. If the Middle East war subsides & trade normalizes, growth could rebound to 6.6% in 2027, supported by a recovery in Gulf oil exporters. https://t.co/5Jkk0COhsO
