Investments in infrastructure have been on the development agenda of Latin American and Caribbean (LCR) countries as they move towards economic and social progress. Investing in infrastructure is investing in human welfare by providing access to and quality basic infrastructure services. Improving the performance of the electricity sector is one such major infrastructure initiative and the focus of this benchmarking data. A key initiative for both public and private owned distribution utilities has been to upgrade their efficiency as well as to increase the coverage and quality of service. In order to accomplish this goal, this initiative serves as a clearing house for information regarding the country and utility level performance of electricity distribution sector. This initiative allows countries and utilities to benchmark their performance in relation to other comparator utilities and countries. In doing so, this benchmarking data contributes to the improvement of the electricity sector by filling in knowledge gaps for the identification of the best performers (and practices) of the region. This benchmarking database consists of detailed information of 25 countries and 249 utilities in the region. The data collected for this benchmarking project is representative of 88 percent of the electrification in the region. Through in-house and field data collection, consultants compiled data based on accomplishments in output, coverage, input, labor productivity, operating performance, the quality of service, prices, and ownership. By serving as a mirror of good performance, the report allows for a comparative analysis and the ranking of utilities and countries according to the indicators used to measure performance. Although significant efforts have been made to ensure data comparability and consistency across time and utilities, the World Bank and the ESMAP do not guarantee the accuracy of the data included in this work.

This statistic shows a ranking of the estimated per capita consumer spending on healthcare in 2020 in Latin America and the Caribbean, differentiated by country. Consumer spending here refers to the domestic demand of private households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs) in the selected region. Spending by corporations or the state is not included. Consumer spending is the biggest component of the gross domestic product as computed on an expenditure basis in the context of national accounts. The other components in this approach are consumption expenditure of the state, gross domestic investment as well as the net exports of goods and services. Consumer spending is broken down according to the United Nations' Classification of Individual Consumption By Purpose (COICOP). The shown data adheres broadly to group 06. As not all countries and regions report data in a harmonized way, all data shown here has been processed by Statista to allow the greatest level of comparability possible. The underlying input data are usually household budget surveys conducted by government agencies that track spending of selected households over a given period.The data is shown in nominal terms which means that monetary data is valued at prices of the respective year and has not been adjusted for inflation. For future years the price level has been projected as well. The data has been converted from local currencies to US$ using the average exchange rate of the respective year. For forecast years, the exchange rate has been projected as well. The timelines therefore incorporate currency effects.The shown forecast is adjusted for the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy. The impact has been estimated by considering both direct (e.g. because of restrictions on personal movement) and indirect (e.g. because of weakened purchasing power) effects. The impact assessment is subject to periodic review as more data becomes available.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. All input data are sourced from international institutions, national statistical offices, and trade associations. All data has been are processed to generate comparable datasets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).

This statistic shows a ranking of the estimated real per capita consumer spending on furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house in 2020 in Latin America and the Caribbean, differentiated by country.

The underlying input data are usually household budget surveys conducted by government agencies that track spending of selected households over a given period.The data has been converted from local currencies to US$ using the average constant exchange rate of the base year 2017. The timelines therefore do not incorporate currency effects. The data is shown in real terms which means that monetary data is valued at constant prices of a given base year (in this case: 2017). To attain constant prices the nominal forecast has been deflated with the projected consumer price index for the respective category.The shown forecast is adjusted for the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local economy.
