The document, to be released during a hybrid press briefing, examines shifts in global and regional exports and imports within the current geopolitical landscape.

ECLAC noted that while severe ruptures marked recent times, new chances for the region have also emerged.

The report addresses the reconfiguration of global flows of goods and services, centered on economic security, resilience, and sustainability, and marked by emerging technologies, the resurgence in productive development policies, and the reorganization of value chains.

The second part analyzes current trade in modern services in the region, including business, professional, financial, audiovisual, creative, information technology, research, and development.

ECLAC’s Executive Secretary Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs will launch the report, prepared by the organization’s International Trade and Integration Division.
