- Abstract
The author reflects on the economic condition of Latin American countries. In his Presidential Address, Mariano Tommasi of the Latin American and Caribbean Economic Association expressed his frustration with the restrained growth performance in the region. It is said that most of the Latin American governments have learned to hold their savings and borrow in U.S. dollars because lenders have little confidence in their commitment to the long-term value of their currency.
