The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has predicted a 4.6 per cent growth rate for Guyana this year, one per cent less than the 5.6 per cent projected by the country, even as it announced that Latin American and Caribbean countries will grow an average of 2.7 per cent due to limited dynamism of the region’s principal economies. The regional United Nations organisation released on Tuesday its “Updated Economic Overview of Latin America and the Caribbean 2013”, which reviews information on the key economic variables of 2013 and presents new growth estimates for the region.
