Abstract: The article provides information about the Infrastructure Business Environment Ratings in the central American region, as of August 2010. It is inferred that the scale of infrastructure development in the region stays at a minimum due to its countries' small populations and weak economies, which also makes official development assistance dependency substantial. Among the countries in the region, Costa Rica and Panama rank highest as reflected by their potential returns and risks.

Abstract: They are small, poor, vulnerable to natural disasters, and most suffered civil wars in the 1970s and 1980s. But the five republics of Central America have made some fragile progress in recent years. Now they have been picked by the United States as its latest preferential trade partners. Negotiations to create a Central American Free-Trade Agreement (US-CAFTA) were launched in San José Costa Rica's capital, in January, 2003. The talks involve Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, all of whom, since 1960, have been trying to create a Central American Common Market (CACM). The Central Americans have been pressing for free-trade talks ever since Mexico gained preferential access to the U.S. market under the North American Free-Trade Agreement in 1994. Now they have been picked by the United States as its latest preferential trade partners. There are two attractions in the talks for the administration of President George W. Bush. The first is to try to make allies of vulnerable neighbours who are the source of illegal migrants. The second is that a swift agreement with Central America, following one with Chile last year, would increase the pressure on Brazil, South America's largest economy, to sign up to the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas.
