Abstract

El presente documento tiene como propósito aportar elementos para la toma de decisiones de las autoridades centroamericanas en cuanto a políticas públicas de corto, mediano y largo plazo, en el contexto de la desaceleración económica mundial al tiempo que los precios de los alimentos y de los energéticos se mueven al alza. Este trabajo consta de cuatro capítulos. En el primero, se examinan las tendencias globales, en particular el alza de precios de alimentos y del petróleo y sus principales causas. En el capítulo II, se presentan las proyecciones de precios internacionales y posibles repercusiones para la economía y las sociedades centroamericanas. En el tercer capitulo, se aborda la capacidad de respuesta de los países de la subregión en los ámbitos macroeconómico, social, energético, agropecuario ante el desafío de la crisis global. En el cuarto capítulo, se proponen medidas centroamericanas para aprovechar las oportunidades y mitigar los efectos adversos de la coyuntura internacional, y se señalan algunas orientaciones a partir de las decisiones de los Presidentes y Ministros en el contexto del SICA.
