What are Latin America’s most important economic challenges in a globalized world? Which policies should be implemented in order to maximize the opportunities offered in the current global context? The Latin American Economic Outlook 2008 (LEO), the first volume in an annual series by the OECD Development Centre, provides recommendations in four key areas for Latin America’s development: fiscal policy, pension reform, private investments in telecommunications, and the impact of Asia’s emerging economies. LEO 2008 was launched by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría in Santiago de Chile on 7 November. The report was presented in Madrid, Lisbon, Paris, Washington and Brussels during November-December 2007. |
