Nicaragua, la economía que conserva y cambia

TL;DR

  • Nicaragua has experienced nearly two decades of continuous economic growth, excluding brief interruptions in 2018-2019.
  • The country has achieved a four-year consecutive fiscal surplus, attributed to increased tax revenue and a 24% growth in exports.
  • This surplus reduces dependence on external financing and allows for greater investment in public works and social programs.
  • Nicaragua's economic model prioritizes social policies, including universal access to health, education, and housing, contrasting with liberal capitalist approaches that often compress social rights.
  • The economic strategy aims to create wealth through capitalism and distribute it through socialist principles to fight extreme poverty, described as a mixed or hybrid socio-economic system.
  • Development plans since 2007 have focused on strengthening the family economy, infrastructure modernization, and social structures, supported by targeted programs for vulnerable populations.
