About the product
What is the role and what are the sensitivities and perspectives of Latin America and the Caribbean in regard to financing for development? This publication attempts to provide a comprehensive answer to this question, taking into account the need to prevent external crisis in the future, to reduce the vulnerability of the region, to reform the international financial system, and to minimize the social impact of these factors. The authors provide a comprehensive view of the regional perspectives of financing for development through an analysis of the investment patterns and capital flows to the region; the role of regional development financial institutions in making capital flows more efficient and equitable; the strengthening of existing mechanisms for the prevention and management of crisis; the impact of external indebtedness on economic and social development; the trends and perspectives of intra- and interregional foreign investment, and the private sector capital flows from investment banks.
