Download or read book Emerging from the Pandemic Tunnel with Faster Growth and Greater Equity A Strategy for a New Social Compact in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Alejandro Izquierdo and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the pandemic lasts, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will go through a tunnel full of uncertainty. It is not known especially how long it is: how long until therapies or a vaccine emerge, or until best practices are known to control the pandemic to live with a virus of unknown lethality. This note describes policy options on how countries can expand their possibilities to meet the economic challenges of the crisis, with an emphasis on growth and equity. These options are based on the assumption that the fiscal situation of the region and its access to sovereign credit markets are much more restricted than in previous crises, which forces to think about policy reforms beyond fiscal ones to accelerate the Economic recovery. The options are ambitious, but the ambition meets the need. This document is part of a series of 3 IDB monographs on public policies in the context of COVID-19.

Download or read book Financial Integration in Latin America written by Mr.Charles Enoch and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growth slowing across much of the Latin America as a result of the end of the commodity supercycle and economic rebalancing in China, as well as fragmentation of the international banking system, policies to stimulate growth are needed. This book examines the financial landscapes of seven Latin American economies—Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay—and makes a case for them to pursue regional financial integration. Chapters set out the benefits to the region of financial integration, the barriers to cross-border activity in banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and capital markets, as well as recommendations to address these barriers. Finally, the volume makes the case that regional integration now could be a step toward global integration in the short term.
Download or read book Latin American Local Capital Markets Challenges and Solutions written by Mauro Miranda and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital markets, both for debt and equity securities, have allowed firms to secure funding for productive uses while providing investors with opportunities for portfolio diversification. The importance of capital markets for the development of economies and for the betterment of society cannot be overstated. This is just as true in emerging economies with free markets, such as those found in Latin America, as it is in developed markets. However, capital markets in the region are not being utilized to the fullest. The idea behind this collection of articles is to offer a primer on the development of local capital markets in several select countries in Latin America. We discuss not only their history and current status but also their future. To this end, seven authors contributed to this project, each writing about one of seven countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. Each author decided which issues they believe matter most to the progress of their local capital markets. Some authors chose a qualitative and institutional description of local markets, whereas others adopted a more quantitative approach.

Download or read book Innovation and Inclusion in Latin America written by Alejandro Foxley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Latin America must confront two main challenges: greater innovation to increase productivity, and greater inclusion to incorporate more of the population into the benefits of economic growth. These two tasks are interrelated, and both require greater institutional capacity to facilitate both innovation and inclusion. Most countries in Latin America are struggling to escape what economists label “the middle income trap.” While much if not all of the region has emerged from low income status, neither growth nor productivity has increased sufficiently to enable Latin America to narrow the gap separating it from the world’s most developed economies. Although income inequality has diminished across much of the region in recent years, social vulnerability remains widespread and institutional weaknesses continue to plague efforts to achieve equitable development. This volume identifies lessons that can be learned and adapted from experiences within the region and in East Asia, where the middle income trap has largely been avoided. This book is the result of a collaborative project undertaken by American University’s Center for Latin American & Latino Studies (CLALS) and the Corporation for Latin American Studies (CIEPLAN) in Chile, with financial support from the Inter-American Development Bank’s Office of Strategic Planning and Development Effectiveness.

Download or read book Beyond Tradeoffs written by Nancy Birdsall and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American income distribution is among the most unequal in the world. Both the poor and the wealthy have paid a price for this inequality, which is in part responsible for the region's low growth rates. The essays in this book propose new ways of reducing inequality, not by growth-inhibiting transfers and regulations, but by enhancing efficiency—eliminating consumption subsidies for the wealthy, increasing the productivity of the poor, and shifting to a more labor and skill-demanding growth path. In Beyond Tradeoffs, Latin American experts demonstrate how market-friendly measures in key policy areas can simultaneously promote greater equity and greater efficiency. By identifying win-win strategies, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom that there is always a tradeoff between these two objectives. Extensive macroeconomic reforms in the region have provided opportunities to implement such strategies across many sectors. The volume aims at building a "Latin consensus" on a second round of reforms—reforms that address the urgent issue of inequality without undermining efficient growth. Contributors include Jonathan Coles, Rene Cortazar, Ricardo Hausmann, Juan Luis Londoño, Nora Lustig, Moises Naím, and Joseph Stiglitz. Copublished with the Inter-American Development Bank

Download or read book Time Varying Transmission of Prices and Volatility written by Kent W. Hargis and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of foreign participation on the integration of Latin American equity markets with the world capital markets and transmission of volatility between the United States and Latin America is investigated with various investment liberalizations. First, the risk exposure of Latin American equity markets as measured by the beta on the world portfolio is found to increase after liberalization in Argentina and Brazil while it increases in Chile with an index of ADRs listed in the U.S. Second, the volatility of the Argentine and Brazilian markets is found to decline significantly after liberalization and with various measures of foreign participation. Third, the transmission of volatility from the U.S. to Latin America is found to increase significantly in Mexico after liberalization. However, volatility is found to be driven primarily by domestic factors in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. It is concluded that foreign participation in Latin American equity markets has increased the influence of world returns on local market returns while the volatility of Latin American equity markets has declined under various investment liberalizations.
Download or read book Emerging Latin American Stock Markets An Empirical Analysis of Market Efficiency Diversification Benefits and Risk written by Pascal Rakers and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides an overview for investors interested in the Latin American equity markets. In the beginning, recent trends and economic developments in the emerging markets are reviewed. After that, the diversification benefits of expanding the investment horizon by including Latin American stocks are evaluated. The Colombian and Peruvian market provided investors with high returns in the past and the Chilean stocks showed low risk. Therefore, the inclusion of these markets might prove to be beneficial. Market efficiency is inspected via variance ratio tests and technical trading strategies. Many markets are found to be inefficient. That is why investors need to check whether crucial information is currently reflected in the market price. At the same time, they can potentially generate excess returns by employing technical trading rules. Lastly, tail risk measures are depicted, risk premia are compared between the markets, and the influence of exchange rates on stock returns is explored. This allows investors to be aware of the potential consequences of extreme events, compare return rewards for risk between the markets, and the impact of exchange rates.
