Notes: Activity 1 refers to “Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing”, activity 2 refers to “Mining and quarrying”, activity 3 refers to “Manufacturing industries”, activity 4 refers to “Electricity, gas and water”, activity 5 refers to “Construction”, activity 6 refers to “Wholesale and retail trade”, activity 7 refers to “Transport and storage”, activity 8 refers to “Financial insurance and real estate” and activity 9 refers to “Social and community services”. The rates for the entire LAC region have been calculated as a weighted average of the population in each country, excluding Argentina and the Bahamas, which are not representative at the national level, and Nicaragua to be consistent with the scenario under imperfect compliance.
