This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 has brought to the fore the need to address the problem of financing for development in middle-income countries, which has been characterized by the increasing decoupling of per capita income and the ability to mobilize domestic and external resources, and the disconnect between economic and social needs and the response of multilateral cooperation. This must be urgently addressed, as Latin American and Caribbean countries must recover from the effects of the pandemic and avoid another lost decade. Middle-income countries, such as those in Latin America and the Caribbean, require multilateral cooperation through the expansion and redistribution of liquidity and debt reduction to enhance their policy space to foster a sustainable recovery and advance their economic and social development. To address these challenges, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) proposes an innovative financing for development agenda for the recovery in the region based on five policy actions: (i) expand and redistribute liquidity from developed to developing countries; (ii) strengthen regional cooperation by enhancing the lending and response capacity of regional, subregional and national financial institutions, and strengthening linkages between them; (iii) carry out institutional reform of the multilateral debt architecture; (iv) expand the set of innovative instruments aimed at increasing debt repayment capacity and avoiding excessive indebtedness and (v) integrate liquidity and debt reduction measures into a development financing strategy aimed at building forward better (Caribbean Resilience Fund).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have joined other developing countries to bring the issue of financing for development to the agenda of the United Nations. Although the discussion had begun earlier in the 1980s, it was not until 1997, when a financial crisis hit many developing countries, that a decision was made to convene an international forum. What is the role and what are the sensitivities and perspectives of LAC in regard to financing for development? This book attempts to provide a comprehensive answer to this question, taking into account the need to prevent external crises 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.

Download or read book Fintech and Financial Inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Mr. Dmitry Gershenson and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite some improvement since 2011, Latin America and the Caribbean continue to lag behind other regions in terms of financial inclusion. There is no clear evidence that fintech developments have supported greater financial inclusion in LAC, contrary to what has been observed elsewhere in the world. Case studies by national policy experts suggest that barriers to entry in the financial sector, along with a constraining regulatory environment, may have hindered a faster adoption of fintech. However, fintech development seems to have accelerated in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and with the support of recent policy initiatives.

At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.
Download or read book Innovative Financing Instruments in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Pérez Caldentey, Esteban and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the global financial crisis (2008-2009), the external financing needs of Latin America and the Caribbean increased significantly, reflecting a process of external debt accumulation in all developing regions, exacerbated by the impacts of COVID-19. The region is now the most indebted in the developing world, with a debt profile that makes it highly vulnerable to changes in international lending conditions and to perceptions of risk. This has placed a major constraint on government responses to the COVID-19 emergency and undermines their capacity to build forward better. This document considers two proposals to address these challenges: (i) expand and redistribute liquidity from developed to developing countries through innovative uses of SDRs; and (ii) expand the set of innovative instruments to increase debt repayment capacity and avoid over-indebtedness.

Download or read book Maximizing Finance for Development written by World Bank Group and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maximizing finance for development (MFD) approach can be implemented to close the financing gap in the water and sanitation sector in Latin America and the Caribbean, helping the region in getting closer to achieving sustainable development goal (SDG 6), particularly if emphasis is put on innovative financing, and linking SDG financing principles. In this overall context, impact bonds are some of the latest tools made available in the results-based financing (RBF) area. On the supply side, impact bonds can inject a more entrepreneurial approach into public service provision. By focusing on outcomes rather than activities, service providers are offered more latitude in the way they deliver services. Through a review of the most recent studies and research on the matter, this document explores the challenges faced by Latin America and the Caribbean in financing the development of its water and sanitation sector and its need for new instruments. It provides insights on impact bonds as one of the latest innovations in the field of RBF. Limitations of the evaluation include the fact that the instrument is rather young. Chapter one looks at the challenges faced by Latin America and the Caribbean in achieving SDG 6. Chapter two examines the financing gap and how new instruments, and innovative thinking can help tackle it. Chapter three explores a new paradigm, the emergence of impact bonds. Chapter four closes the loop by looking at how impact bonds can be a useful complement to closing the financing gap. The final chapter offers recommendations for the development of this relatively new instrument.

It identifies emerging challenges impacting SMEs in the region and provides recommendations for governments to build a successful SME sector. The 2024 edition, the second in the series, benefits from an updated methodology that analyses SME digital transformation support policies, introduces a green economy pilot dimension, and incorporates a cross-cutting gender approach. This edition extends the coverage by introducing two new countries (Brazil and Paraguay) to the already seven participating countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay), guaranteeing the inclusion of all members of the Pacific Alliance and Mercosur.
