| Summary: | The Latin America and the Caribbean
region has turned the corner, growing again after six years
of economic slowdown. Economic growth is key to continue
making progress on the social front and return to the
poverty reduction gains that the region achieved over the
first one and a half decades of the new century, when
poverty was nearly halved. Moreover, now that growth is
picking up it will be possible to focus even more on other
areas that are also critical for the development of the
region over the long-run, such as human capital, disaster
risk management, good governance, and ensuring that the most
vulnerable groups in society also benefit from growth. |
