The CDB said that its projection of growth comes after an extremely difficult year in which the economies of its 19 borrowing member countries (BMCs) contracted by 12.8 percent on average due to the onset of novel coronavirus. “In 2020, the majority of BMCs registered double-digit declines in GDP. Countries with significant tourism industries, such as The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Dominica, and Grenada, were hard-hit by a more than 70 percent drop in overnight visitors in 2020, which spilled over to affect other economic sectors. An increase in agricultural production in Jamaica could not prevent the economy from shrinking by 10.4 percent. Agriculture in Belize was affected by a severe drought from the previous year and then a reduction in tourism-related demand. The economy contracted by 13.3 percent. Guyana was the only economy to record economic growth (26 percent), solely due to the start-up of its first oil production. However, growth was lower than expected due…

Thus, if Mexico’s real GDP per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years (= 70 / 7) to double. Apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem. Real GDP per person in Mexico in 2005 was about $11,000 per person, while it was about $44,000 per person in the United States. If real GDP per person in Mexico grows at the rate of 5 percent per year, about how long will it take Mexico’s real GDP per person to reach the level that the United States was at in 2005? (Hint: How many times would Mexico’s 2005 real GDP per person have to double to reach the United States’ 2005 real GDP per person?)arrow_forward
