The Frost Radar for Economic Development determines a region's future growth and development potential measured by its ability to enhance the quality of life (QOL) for its citizens. This report explores the Americas' key strengths and weaknesses through country-level assessments of growth and innovation initiatives and then benchmarks each country on these 2 indices. The Americas has been on a positive economic growth trajectory in 2021, led by fiscal support, commodity price recovery, and moderate to high vaccination rates. However, regional challenges threaten to dampen the pace of recovery. This Frost Radar diagnoses the significant challenges to the region’s growth environment, including elevated inflation and debt levels and high income inequality, among others. Moreover, by measuring performance against the major sub-pillars of the Innovation in Education, Healthcare, Environment, Infrastructure, Human Rights, and Security, the Frost Radar offers broad-based insights into the regional economic pulse and identifies key drivers underpinning the growth momentum in the region such as substantive fiscal stimulus measures. In this research, Frost & Sullivan indexes the top 10 economies in Americas, Central America and the Caribbean, and Latin America to determine what makes them the regional leaders. The Radar is intended to empower governments, policy-makers, investors, and businesses to identify strategic imperatives for future growth.--BEGIN PROMO--
