Miami- Small changes help downtown Miami clean up its image |

(03/6/2008)
By MICHAEL VASQUEZ AND SCOTT ANDRON
A year ago, a top Macy's executive ripped the condition of downtown Miami in front of a shocked Chamber of Commerce audience, describing the city's urban core as a place of ``broken curbs, collapsed sidewalks and garbage-strewn empty lots.''
The stinging speech served as something of a wake-up call to community leaders. In the year since, many sidewalks have been repaired. Six uniformed downtown ''ambassadors'' have been hired to deter crime and guide visitors. And new residents have steadily trickled in, attracted by shiny high-rises and short commutes.

Panama- Panama, Cuba and Chile lead Latin Am. economic growth for 2008 |
|
|
(11/5/2008)
23 April 2008) Latin America and the Caribbean will grow an average of 4.7% in 2008, according to projections of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), 0.2% lower than the 4.9% estimate issued by the United Nations regional body last December.
ECLAC projects that the countries with the highest growth rates this year will be Panama (8%) and Argentina, Cuba and Peru (7%). Mexico and Ecuador will have the lowest growth, with 2.7% and 3%, respectively.
The countries with growth rates nearing the regional average will be Bolivia and Paraguay (5%), Brazil (4.8%), and Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras (4.5%).
Last year, average Gross Domestic Product in Latin America and the Caribbean reached 5.7%, completing five consecutive years of growth.
In his analysis "Possible scenarios and impact of the external crisis on Latin American economies", ECLAC Executive Secretary José Luis Machinea asserts that the United States' incipient recession is causing global uncertainty.
The Latin American countries that will be worst hit by global deceleration are the most impoverished that are already suffering steep rises in food prices; manufacture exporting countries; nations receiving elevated flows of remittances; and countries in great need of external financing. Nevertheless, said Machinea, the regional economy as a whole is less vulnerable than in the past.
The ECLAC Executive Secretary expressed concern about the impact that sharp increases in the cost of food are having on Latin American economies.
