Abstract

Al igual que en 2007, en 2008 el PIB real de Nicaragua aumentó 3,2%. El dinamismo del consumo y la inversión compensó la desaceleración de las exportaciones, afectadas por la menor expansión de la economía mundial y, en particular, por la recesión de los Estados Unidos. El PIB por habitante aumentó 1,9%, tasa similar al promedio de la presente década (2%). La tasa de desempleo repuntó, al ubicarse en 6,1%. La aceleración de la inflación cedió en el tercer trimestre y para el cierre del año alcanzó 13,8%. El balance del gobierno central tuvo un leve deterioro y se situó en un equivalente a 4,1% del PIB. El saldo negativo de la cuenta corriente subió significativamente y cerró el año en alrededor de 23,2% del PIB.
