（Topic）		 The Global Economic Crisis and its Impacts on Latin America
概要：
(Abstract)		 As a result of the global economic crisis, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are faced with a marked fall in external demand for their goods and services exports and, with the exception of some Central American and Caribbean countries, with deteriorating terms of trade. Access to international financing is increasingly difficult to obtain, and currency markets are coming under strong pressure from capital outflows. All of this is taking place against a background of great and growing external and internal uncertainty and huge losses of both financial and non-financial wealth, particularly in developed countries but in emerging economies as well. This extremely negative picture is dampening expectations, and this, in turn, is giving rise to a slump in labor markets and to lower investment and consumption levels. The countries of the region have unveiled various sorts of measures in response to the evidence of a gradual deepening of the international financial crisis and to the fact that, although the macroeconomic fundamentals of most of the countries are now much stronger than they were in the past, the region is not immune to the crisis, and countercyclical policy efforts will need to be undertaken in order to mitigate the projected slowdown in the region's growth as much as possible. A very broad range of measures have been implemented. This is partly because the effects of the crisis vary from country to country, and the instruments required in order to deal with those effects therefore differ as well, and partly because of the differences that exist in terms of the resources at the disposal of individual countries and, hence, in their capacity for implementing initiatives of various kinds.
