This document provides an overview of Latin America's economy, including key metrics like GDP growth rates and currency exchange rates. It notes that Latin America's GDP growth averaged 4.5% from 2012-2016, driven by commodities exports which account for around 50% of the region's exports. However, the region faces challenges from potential European economic issues, dependence on commodity prices and China's economy, as well as domestic issues like inequality and education levels. A slowdown in US or European growth could significantly impact Latin America's growth.

15. Growth potential is still limited by microeconomic challenges
Challenges
Diminished competitiveness due to high tax burden and bureaucracy costs
Lack of education: scarcity of well-skilled labor and low productivity limit potential growth
Logistics bottlenecks also limits potential growth
High inequality of income and poverty
Great dependence on commodities
Government higher expenditures don’t mean higher investments
Infrastructure investments totaled 2.1% of the total GDP in the period of 2001-2007. Much lower than the comparable Latam
countries and other Emerging countries
Most of the challenges are on the microeconomic front, affecting the supply-side % of GDP in Infrastructure
