| description |
The paper documents the major trends in
financial development in Latin America and the Caribbean
since the early 1990s. The paper compares trends in Latin
America and the Caribbean with those in Asia, Eastern
Europe, and advanced countries and compares countries within
Latin America and the Caribbean. The findings show that
financial systems in the Latin America and the Caribbean
region have become more diversified and more complex. In
particular, domestic financial systems have become less
bank-based, with bond and stock markets playing a larger
role; institutional investors have gained some space in
channeling domestic savings, thus increasing the
availability of funds for investment in capital markets; and
several economies in the region have started to reduce
currency and maturity mismatches. Nonetheless, a few large
companies continue to capture most of the domestic savings.
And because these trends have unfolded more slowly than
pro-market reformers had envisioned, broad, market-based
financial systems with dispersed ownership have yet to
materialize fully in the region. As a result, convergence is
still largely failing to happen and the region's
financial systems remain less developed than those of the
advanced economies and several other emerging economies,
most notably those in Asia. |
