Taking some GDP projections prepared for the region based on the additional impacts of the pandemic, in 2020 the regional economies would observe a contraction between 2 and 15% compared to the product of 2019 and it is probable that the recovery from 2021 is not homogeneous among countries, further widening the existing gaps.
