    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    This database is an ongoing effort to update official fiscal data by the Bank and the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations, and with the collaboration of OECD and ECLAC. The Equivalent Fiscal Pressure indicator makes use of a methodology that better reflects the particularities of the mobilization of fiscal resources in the region, and consists of three elements: 1) Traditional tax collection, which includes all taxes and fees levied at all levels of government; 2) Compulsory social security contributions, whether public or private, mostly to pension and health systems; and 3) Non-tax revenues derived from the exploitation of natural resources, whether renewable or not; i.e., fees, royalties, dividends paid and net profits from public enterprises. The information is presented broken down by type of tax at every level of government. The series are adjusted with updated GDP values for each country and information that becomes available for municipalities and social security,...

    By Climate Change Solutions Division (VPS/CSD/CCS)
    Under the current IDBG Corporate Results Framework (CRF) 2020-2023 (https://crf.iadb.org/en), the IDB committed to reach 30% of the total amount approved (including all lending operations) of climate finance during this period. In 2022, the IDB Group - composed of the IDB, IDB Lab (formerly the Multilateral Investment Fund) and IDB Invest - approved US$7.8 billion in climate finance as per the MDB climate finance tracking methodology. This resource is aimed at development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. The IDB approved US$6.1 billion in climate finance (45.3% of total approvals). The IDB Group is composed of two separate legal entities: the IDB and the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC), which was rebranded as IDB Invest in 2017. The IDB Lab is a trust fund administered by the IDB...

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    This is the third update of the Equivalent Fiscal Pressure (EFP) Database for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) for the period 1990–2018, based on the IDB-CIAT methodology. The EFP provides a more precise measurement of total resources collected in the region and comprises four components: 1. Traditional tax revenues from general government, including subnational governments. 2. Public contributions to social security. 3. Mandatory contributions to private social security schemes. 4. Non-tax revenues from natural resource exploitation. Following the upward trend since the 1990s, the average EFP for 25 countries increased by more than 6 percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP), rising from 17.3% to 23.6% between 1990 and 2021. Medium-term dynamics are primarily driven by tax revenues, which grew from 13.5% to 18.0% of GDP over the same period. At the individual country level, there is significant heterogeneity in both the evolution and levels of tax revenues and EFP.

    By Competitiveness, Technology and Innovation Division (VPS/PTI/CTI)
    To create and promote comprehensive regional innovation policy, it is important to have valid, comparable, and standardized innovation survey data from different countries in Latin America. The Harmonized Latin American Innovation Surveys Database (LAIS) contains nearly 690 variables and 119,900 observations at the firm level. Data are from 30 national innovation surveys conducted between 2007 and 2017 in 10 Latin American countries. The dataset increases the number of countries of the region with publicly available microdata about innovation at the firm level. The corresponding IDB technical note describes how criteria were applied to identify and select variables, whose data measure the same underlying concept, from substantially diverse innovation survey methods and questionnaires used in different Latin American countries. The availability of these data will allow more scholars to research innovation in Latin American firms and address long-standing unanswered questions about...
