dc.description.abstractLatin America and the Caribbean suffered the largest death toll from Covid‐19 across developing regions and the sharpest decline in economic activity. With fewer school days and lower employment rates, with higher public debt and more firms under stress, the effects could be long‐lasting. The crisis also triggered large‐scale economic restructuring, with productivity higher in the expanding than in the contracting sectors. Accelerated digitization could instill dynamism in finance, trade and labor markets, but it may amplify inequality within and across the countries in the region. Technology could transform the energy sector as well. Latin America and the Caribbean has the cleanest and potentially cheapest electricity generation matrix of all developing regions. But its electricity is the most expensive, due mainly to inefficiencies. Distributed generation within countries and electricity trade across countries, could make energy greener and cheaper, provided that the pricing is right.en
dc.description.abstractSegún cifras oficiales, el número de muertes por Covid-19 en América Latina y el Caribe ha sido más alto que en todas las demás regiones en desarrollo, y es similar al que se ha contabilizado en las economías avanzadas. Sin embargo, las muertes por Covid-19 comunicadas por las autoridades no son estrictamente comparables porque los países tienen diferentes capacidades institucionales y políticas sanitarias, incluidas las relativas a las pruebas de detección. El exceso de mortalidad —la diferencia relativa entre todas las muertes durante la pandemia y las muertes observadas en épocas de normalidad— es un indicador más fiable. De acuerdo con esta medida, el número de víctimas mortales contabilizadas en la región es mucho mayor de lo que sugieren las cifras oficiales, y casi con toda seguridad es el más alto en todo el mundo. No obstante, también se observan importantes diferencias entre países, ya que América Latina y el Caribe concentra tanto los países menos afectados como los más afectados.es
