Abstract

Growing national income in Latin America and the Caribbean is feeding demands for more and better government services. But after raising expenditure during the years of the commodity boom, many governments now face less favourable external conditions and need to adjust. These external headwinds mean there is more pressure to look for domestic sources of growth. As LSE prepares to host the 2018 Annual LSE-IDB Conference on Latin America and the Caribbean (register here) on 1 November 2018, the Inter-American Development Bank’s Chief Economist Alejandro Izquierdo looks at what can be done to make ends meet.
