July 21, 2010. Latin America and the Caribbean is consolidating its recovery from the global economic slowdown, posting higher-than-expected growth in recent months, although some countries in the region face serious pitfalls, according to a new United Nations report.
The 2009-2010 regional economic survey, conducted by the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean ( ECLAC) and released today, forecasts that the region will expand by 5.2 per cent this year after the recovery began in the second half of last year. Overall unemployment rates are likely to ease from 8.2 per cent to 7.8 per cent.
Alicia Bárcena, ECLAC’s Executive Secretary, told the report’s launch today in Santiago, Chile, that this year’s growth rate is higher than expected. Private consumption is on the rise again following the slight improvement in employment, while lending has also increased, as have investment and export revenue.

CONGRATULATIONS COLOMBIA!
BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombia yesterday celebrated the bicentennial of their Grito de Independencia, in an atmosphere of patriotism exalted by the security gains of the current government, which has enabled to regain control of much of the territory previously held by the guerrillas and paramilitary groups.
The security gains of President Alvaro Uribe, which resulted in economic recovery have also helped restore the dignity of Colombians in the eyes of the world, so the festivities were extended to other countries.
The festivities began early in the morning, with the opening of a sealed ballot box made in France 100 years ago, containing photographs, prints, drawings, magazines, books, brochures, a map of Bogota at the time, the words and music of national anthem and the Act of Independence, among other documents.
