FDI inflows in Latin America and the
Caribbean have been declining since their
peak in 2011 and this trend continued
in 2017. However, we should note that

down by 53% between 2011-2012, at
the peak of the commodity boom, and
2015-2016 (the latest years with full data
available), but declined by only 5% in
the services sector and grew by 3%
in manufacturing
