Economic growth is strengthening in central American and the Caribbean. The IMF expects the region to grow at about 2% this year and 2.5% next year. 

However, while that’s certainly an improvement on last year’s result of a little over 1%, it still lags behind the 3%+ of the emerging market average.

Fiscal constraints have been pushing down economic growth rates, while global headwinds in the form of trade concerns have added uncertainty to what are mostly export-led models of growth.
