Latin American Economic Outlook for 2016
Overview
The 2016 edition of the Latin American Economic Outlook explores how the region could deepen and improve its partnership with China as part of its development agenda. Despite the end of the “Golden Decade” of the commodities boom, China will continue to be a game changer for the region. The report contends that the world’s economic center of gravity is moving away from OECD countries towards emerging economies, a phenomenon called “shifting wealth.” Ties between Latin America and China are evolving well beyond trade and challenge the region to adopt modern reforms and policies to build a mutually beneficial partnership with China. This report is a collaborative effort between the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), CAF (Development Bank of Latin America) and ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean).

Latin America Program
The Wilson Center’s prestigious Latin America Program provides non-partisan expertise to a broad community of decision makers in the United States and Latin America on critical policy issues facing the Hemisphere. The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.
