El consenso latinoamericano 2020
El Tiempo
La crisis del covid-19 ha afectado en forma dramática a América Latina. La región se ha convertido en el epicentro de la pandemia y experimentará una contracción de la actividad económica superior al 9 %. No es solo la peor recesión de su historia, sino también la peor en el mundo después de la de Europa occidental. Como resultado de ello, la Cepal estima que los niveles de pobreza aumentarán del 30 al 36 % de la población, es decir, afectará a 36 millones adicionales de latinoamericanos.
