The OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría presented the Latin American Economic Outlook 2009 on 28 October, during his trip to El Salvador on the occasion of the XVIII Iberoamerican Summit. Elías Antonio Saca, President of El Salvador and host of the Iberoamerican Summit accompanied the OECD Secretary General in the presentation of the report.

This second edition of the Latin American Economic Outlook highlights how governments in the region can go beyond using fiscal policy as a mere tool for macroeconomic stabilisation and begin to maximise its potential to promote development and consolidate democratic legitimacy.
