Venezuela – not a pretty picture
• Economic drop in 2009: -5.6%• Worse in 2010: -6.4%• Budget deficit growing from zero to
6% of GDP.• Keeping gasoline at US$.30/gal
costs US$10 Billion per year.• Deficit spending will fuel 40%
inflation by year-end.• Declining incomes, weaker Bolivar• Bank takeover: BIV• Still strong import prospects, but
for the wrong reasons!

Central America: Up’s and (mainly) Down’s
• Panama– One of the fastest growing this year and next
• Costa Rica– Hurt by semiconductor downturn, weak ‘09 and ‘10, possible
Atlantic port development. Big energy investment.• Nicaragua
– A disaster in slow motion• Honduras
– Weak maquiladora growth, but Cortes investments will hold up– Democracy or something else? Temporary or permanent?– Big Roatan developments
• Guatemala– Remittances are down, -0.6% real GDP growth in 09– Rosenberg – Colon?

Cuba: now and maybe
USA
• US Exports – ag, building materials, consumer goods, technology
• Immediate export potential (reefer) to USA
• New maquiladora haven? China at our doorstep?
• New transshipment hub for the Americas?
• Deep water (200m)
• Possible development of Mariël for cargo, Havana for cruise
NOW
• Tourism
• Remittances
MAYBE

Accomplishments under Raul to date
• Shorter speeches• The soap operas start on time• Cubans can buy cell phones & DVDs,
and stay at hotels, so long as they have the money.
• Showing modest change by taking small steps – very slow but in the right direction.

Conclusions
• It should not get worse from here.– But the news will sound terrible!
• The economic picture will improve before the shipping volumes, but 2010 will see positive growth in both.
• The “big opening” with Cuba may start in 2009 in earnest.
• Now, when everything seems so bad, is the time to plan your strategy to capture market share.
