SANTIAGO, Chile, CMC – The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is predicting a two per cent growth for Caribbean economies in 2013.
ECLAC said that the anticipated result is “on the back of the buoyancy of economies specialized in producing and exporting raw materials, mainly Guyana and Suriname, and the recovery in countries more focused on exporting tourist services, as a result of the improved economic situation in the United States”.
Overall, ECLAC said regional countries will grow, on average, by 3.5 per cent in 2013, thanks to buoyant internal demand and the improved performance of some countries.
