 INDUSTRY
ANALYSIS
The
Mexican Packaging Market
Mexico's export
economy is in recession. US suppliers to Mexico's maquiladora industry
are hard pressed to sell their raw materials, let alone new technology.
Nonetheless, pockets of Mexican industry continue to grow, mostly
because their products are destined to consumer markets, which are still
growing. The packaging industry is a good example. Consumer demand for
modern packaging is strong, and another boost comes from a restructuring
food processing industry, which requires more packaging for longer trips
to market. This article discusses trends in materials and client
industry structure that are keeping the packaging industry strong.

 REGIONAL TRENDS
Leaving,

............Migration
in Modern Latin America
It is no coincidence
that the world's most progressive, democratic and fastest growing economies
are those most influenced by immigration. The United States, Canada,
Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, and Israel share
at least one thing common: each country's zenith in growth and modernization
has been associated with (if not caused by) a net inflow of migrants.
Conversely, countries suffering from net emigration are mostly those in a
state of economic malaise and/or civil strife. This article examines the
patterns of migration affecting Latin America, including the forces that
draw them abroad, and sometimes beckon them back home.

 ECONOMIC
OUTLOOK
Brazil
Estimates of
Brazilian real economic growth have tumbled from an optimistic 4.5
percent at the beginning of the year to a much more skeptical 2.6
percent by mid-year. Several internal and external factors have
conspired to work against Brazil. The shrinking Real, which dropped by
20 percent in the first half of 2001, reflects the economy's
vulnerability to external pressures. Competitive gains achieved through
the devaluation have been more than offset by a 45 percent drop over the
last three years in average prices of Brazil's top commodity exports. On
the import side, the price of oil, which accounts for 20 percent of
domestic consumption, has increased sharply.
