The Latin American Economic Outlook (LEO) analyses critical aspects related to sustainable  and inclusive development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Since the first  LEO launch in November 2007, the annual report has compared LAC’s performance with  that of other regions, analysed main development challenges and put forward policy  recommendations, experiences and good practices.

The LEO benefits from the expertise and inputs of co‑authors. Since 2011, the LEO has  been published in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin  America and the Caribbean. In 2013, the Development Bank of Latin America and the  Caribbean joined the team of authors and in 2018, the European Commission joined as a  main partner of the LEO.
