VOICED : America Latina crecera en 2015

Alicia Bárcena, executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, predicts a better economic year in 2015 compared to 2014, with growth over 2.5%. Despite international challenges, the US recovery could positively impact remittances, especially in Central America and the Caribbean. Bárcena emphasizes the need for Latin Americans to focus on savings rather than excessive consumption, as consumption is linked to debt. She also forecasts improved economic performance for Brazil, Argentina, and Chile due to various factors, including public investment.
