| Summary: | The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic
has had widespread negative effects in developing countries
around the world, generating an unprecedented shock. Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC) was a particularly affected
region, recording a significant contraction in regional GDP
and international trade in 2020. This report focuses on the
impact of Covid-19 and recovery in El Salvador, Guatemala
and Honduras. These three Central American countries (CA3),
albeit unique in their history and characteristics, share
many similarities in their economic context and challenges
for achieving sustained growth. The region includes one of
the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, with low
economic growth rates relative to other Latin American countries. |
