The economic recovery of the Latin American and Caribbean economies that began in the final quarter of 1998 continued during the year 2000, and the region's GDP, after coming to a virtual standstill the year before, grew 4%. The main engine of this recovery was an export boom, while domestic demand was weaker than expected. Partly because of that weakness, the region's brisker growth rate was not reflected in any appreciable decrease in unemployment, which remained at nearly 9%, and real wages rose very little. Thanks to the export boom, the region was able to narrow the deficit on its balance-of-payments current account from 3.1% to 2.5% of GDP. The external environment was a key factor in this improvement, even though international trends were mixed. On the one hand, the world economy grew swiftly, intraregional trade rebounded and the prices of many (but not all) commodities rose while, on the other, financial markets were highly volatile as they responded to sharp swings on United States exchanges. Nonetheless, capital inflows -especially in the form of foreign direct investment- were plentiful enough to cover the current account deficit. Inflation remained on the downward trend seen during the preceding four years, declining to just 9%, and four fifths of the countries had single-digit rates despite higher oil prices and the reactivation of production. More flexible monetary policies were reflected in an expansion of the money supply and lower interest rates. Fiscal policy, on the other hand, was stricter than before and the countries' fiscal deficits were considerably smaller. The regional economy is expected to continue along the same path in 2001, with the significant exception of Mexico. Economic activity in that country may slacken, pulling down the region's projected growth rate to 3.8%.
