RMRP 2023-2024

The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean face the largest exodus in their recent history. More than 7.1 million Venezuelans live outside their country of origin and close to 6 million reside in the region. In addition to its impact on the living conditions, security, dignity and health of refugees and migrants, the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened pre-existing inequalities and increased the suffering of the most vulnerable people in society. The region's growth forecast for this year will not be sufficient to ensure sustained expansion as the social impacts of the health crisis and the region's structural problems have worsened and will continue during this recovery phase.
