Financial Development in Latin America and the Caribbean
World Bank – The report provides both a stocktaking and forward-looking assessment of LAC’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. Moreover, the report builds on and complements several overview studies on financial development in both LAC countries and the developing world that have been and are being published. We believe it will be of interest to policy makers and financial analysts interested in improving the financial sector, both in LAC as well as in other regions
