However, even after the decline, in 2014 public investment was still the third highest in the region. The fall in public investment could be explained by the volatility of commodity prices, notably crude oil, resulting in a reduction of government revenues, but also by weaker economic growth compared to previous years.

Government at a Glance: Latin America and the Caribbean 2017 is the second edition of a joint publication between the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). It provides readers with a dashboard of key indicators to
inform policy making and benchmark specific interventions. The model is the OECD Government at a Glance, which is a fundamental reference,
backed by a well-established methodology for OECD member countries. Compared to the previous edition that had a special focus on Public
Financial Management and alongside with indicators on public finances and public employment this second version covers a wider range of public
management areas including the role and influence of the Centre of Government, Open Government and Open Data policies, Digital Government,
Regulatory Governance and practices for Budgeting in health systems.
