What the sources establish
- ECLAC reports 2.4% regional growth in 2025.
- It identifies low investment, weak productivity, and persistent informality as constraints.
How to read the bigger picture
Macroeconomic stability is one foundation, while productive capacity and formal employment determine how growth can support sustained household gains.
What we should keep in view
- Informality is distinct from unemployment.
- Regional figures conceal national differences.
- Structural diagnosis does not prove a single policy cause.
What would change the picture?
- Compare country outcomes with the regional aggregate.
- Check later releases and changes in methodology.
