The survey's objective is to understand how firms' exports are evolving, what problems they face, what measures they have taken, what public support policies they have received, and what their prospective vision is.

Coverage

The survey spans companies across Latin America and the Caribbean, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Trinidad & Tobago, among others, with data covering the 2020–2022 period.

What is included

The dataset is provided as a single CSV resource of firm survey responses.

Uses

Researchers, trade analysts, and policymakers can use the data to study export behavior and the "new export DNA" of LAC firms — the obstacles they encounter, the strategies they adopt, the public policies they access, and their outlook on regional and extra-regional trade.
