Book Description
Durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990, el sector financiero constituyó el talón de Aquiles del desarrollo económico en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Desde entonces, el sector ha crecido y se ha profundizado, volviéndose más integrado y competitivo, con nuevos actores, mercados e instrumentos y una ampliación de la inclusión financiera. Para coronar estos logros, los sistemas financieros de la región han atravesado la crisis global de 2008-2009 en gran medida ilesos. Ahora que los beneficios de la estabilidad macrofinanciera de ALC están siendo ampliamente reconocidos y puestos a prueba, parece ser el momento ideal para hacer un balance y analizar lo que resta por hacer. El Desarrollo Financiero en America Latina y el Caribe: El Camino por Delante provee un análisis balanceado, con miras al futuro, sobre el desarrollo financiero de la región. En lugar de perderse en discusiones sectoriales específicas, el reporte se enfoca en los principales elementos estructurales, perspectivas generales y sus interconexiones. El valor agregado de este reporte descansa entonces en su visión holística del proceso de desarrollo; en su cobertura amplia de la industria de servicios financieros (tomada como un todo, sin centrarse exclusivamente en el sector bancario); en su énfasis en un enfoque comparativo, relativo a valores de referencia; en su perspectiva sistémica; y en su esfuerzo explícito de incorporar las lecciones de la crisis financiera internacional de 2008–2009. El Desarrollo Financiero en America Latina y el Caribe: El Camino por Delante a su vez expande y complementa la visión global de una serie de estudios publicados durante la última década sobre el desarrollo financiero, tanto sobre los países de ALC como sobre otros países en vías de desarrollo. Este reporte resultará de especial interés para hacedores de política y analistas financieros interesados en impulsar el desarrollo del sector financiero de la región.

Financial Development in Latin America and the Caribbean
Author: Augusto de la Torre
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 082138936X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
During the 1980s and 1990s, financial sectors were the Achilles heel of economic development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Since then, these sectors have grown and deepened, becoming more integrated and competitive, with new actors, markets, and instruments springing up and financial inclusion broadening. To crown these achievements, the region s financial systems were left largely unscathed by the global financial crisis of 2008 09. Now that the successes of LAC s macrofinancial stability are widely recognized and tested, it is high time for an in-depth stocktaking of what remains to be done. Financial Development in Latin America and the Caribbean: The Road Ahead provides both a stocktaking and a forward-looking assessment of the region s financial development. Rather than going into detail about sector-specific issues, the report focuses on the main architectural issues, overall perspectives, and interconnections. The report s value added thus hinges on its holistic view of the development process, its broad coverage of the financial services industry beyond banking, its emphasis on benchmarking, its systemic perspective, and its explicit effort to incorporate the lessons from the recent global financial crisis. Financial Development in Latin America and the Caribbean: The Road Ahead builds on and complements several overview studies on financial development in both LAC countries and the developing world that were published in the past decade. It will be of interest to policy makers and financial analysts interested in improving the financial sector in the LAC region.

The Circular Economy and the Global South
Author: Patrick Schröder
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429783698
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

Global Investment Competitiveness Report 2017/2018
Author: World Bank Group
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464811857
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The Global Investment Competitiveness report presents new insights and evidence on drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries, and FDI’s role in development. The report’s survey of 750 executives of multinational corporations finds that a business-friendly legal and regulatory environment is a key driver of investment decisions in developing countries, along with political stability, security, and macroeconomic conditions. The report’s topic-specific chapters explore the potential of FDI to create new growth opportunities for local firms, assess the power of tax holidays and other fiscal incentives to attract FDI, analyze characteristics of FDI originating in developing countries, and examine the experience of foreign investors in countries affected by conflict and fragility. Three key features of this Global Investment Competitiveness report distinguish it from other publications on FDI. First, its insights are based on a combination of first-hand perspectives of investors, extensive analysis of available data and evidence, and international good practices in investment policy design and implementation. Secondly, rather than exploring broad FDI trends, the report provides detailed and unique analysis of FDI depending on its motivation, sector, geographic origin and destination, and phase of investment. Thirdly, the report offers practical and actionable recommendations to policymakers in developing countries wishing to reform their business climates for increased investment competitiveness. As such, the report is meant to complement other knowledge products of the World Bank Group focused even more explicitly on country-level data, detailed reform diagnostics, and presentation of best practices. We are confident this report will bring value and fresh perspectives to a variety of audiences. To governments and policymakers, including investment promotion professionals, the report offers direct insights into the role of government policies and actions in investors’ decision-making. To foreign investors and site location consultants, the report provides information on FDI trends and drivers across sectors and geographies. For academic audiences, the new datasets on investment incentives and FDI motivations enables opportunities for additional research and analysis. Lastly, for development assistance providers and other stakeholders, the report highlights key approaches for maximizing FDI’s benefits for development.
