LIVE EVENT

Join us on Thursday, October 6, at 12:00 noon (US Eastern Time) for a discussion with the LAC Chief Economist, Ministers of Finance from the region, and high-level experts on how to boost growth and improve efficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean.

 

The World Bank invites you to join a conversation about the just-released Regional Economic Review findings for Latin America and the Caribbean: "New Approaches to Closing the Fiscal Gap." The new report looks at the region's growth prospects and the challenges countries face in reducing poverty and inequality.

A high-level panel will share views about the region's critical conjunctural macroeconomic challenges, considering persistent inflationary pressures, tight fiscal space, and sustainability issues.

Join us on Thursday, October 6, at 12:00 pm (US Eastern Time) for a discussion with our Chief Economist and regional experts.

The event will be in Spanish with interpretation in English, Portuguese, and French.
