Latin America: New Challenges to Growth and St ability

Dora Iakova, Luis M. Cubeddu, Gustavo Adler, and Sebastian Sosa

There are many questions at the heart of the economic policy debate on Latin

America. Can the countries in the region return to high rates of economic growth

in the medium term? How vulnerable are the region’s commodity exporters to a

sustained decline of commodity prices? Is the region well prepared to deal with

new global financial shocks and increased capital flow volatility? The authors

of this book argue that Latin America can rise to the new challenges and return

to robust growth, with reforms aimed at improving education outcomes, closing

infrastructure gaps, and raising productivity growth.

strengths and weaknesses, and the data requirements. Where available, the

associated stress test toolkits and program codes are also provided for wider

public use.
