🌎 CM Americas: Regional Overview
The Americas span 55 countries and territories across North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean, representing a diverse and dynamic political-economic landscape. Home to over 1 billion people, the region accounts for roughly 30% of global GDP, driven by powerhouse economies like the United States, Canada, and Brazil — as well as rising influence from Latin American trade blocs and Caribbean diplomacy.
From the skyscrapers of New York to the copper mines of Chile, the Americas sit at the crossroads of natural resource wealth, advanced capital markets, fragile democracies, and urgent climate risk. The region also plays a central role in shaping global conversations on migration, energy policy, digital trade, and public health resilience.
