La recuperacion de la economia mundial esta siendo obstaculizada por factores economicos, politicos y sociales. Entre los economicos estan la caida de la demanda interna de Estados Unidos, los desbalances fiscales y la caida de los mercados financieros mundiales; entre los sociales esta la violencia en paises Latinoamericanos. Buscando una salida hacia la recuperacion, las economias desarrolladas han implementado politicas monetarias y fiscales expansivas, y los paises en desarrollo continuan con el ajuste fiscal exigido por el Fondo Monetario Internacional. Finalmente, la incertidumbre que enfrentan las economias del mundo, genera perspectivas de lenta recuperacion para la economia mundial. Abstract: The recovery of the world economy is being blocked by economic, political and social factors. The fall of the internal demand of United States, the fiscal disbalances and the fall of the world financial markets are among the economic ones; among the social ones, it is the violence in Latin American countries. Looking for an exit toward the recovery, the developed economies have implemented monetary and fiscal expansive policies, and the developing countries continue with the fiscal adjustment demanded by the International Monetary Fund. Finally, the uncertainty faced by the world economies, generates perspectives of slow recovery for the world economy.
