Edition 13- From Recovery to Renaissance in Latin America and the Caribbean
Episode notes
We will discuss with Eduardo Cavallo, the Principal Economist at the IDB and Adjunct Professor of Advanced International Studies at SAIS, the 2022 Latin American and Caribbean Macroeconomic Report, which he co-authored with Andrew Powell.
The Report analyzes how Latin America and the Caribbean can move past the upheavals of the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends policies to reduce vulnerabilities and to build a foundation for higher growth with more inclusive and sustainable economies.
“COVID-19 is a wake-up call to reform and change the status quo so we can arrive not at the old normal, but a new and better normal...There is no time like a crisis to shake up old ways and start anew on a more promising path—and that time is now.”
Join us and participate in a live discussion with one of the foremost experts on international finance, macroeconomics, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Eduardo Cavallo has published in several academic journals, and is the co-editor of the books “Building Opportunities for Growth in a Challenging World” (IDB, 2019); “A Mandate to Grow” (IDB, 2018); “Saving for Development: how Latin America and the Caribbean can save more and better” (Palgrave, 2016) and “Dealing with an International Credit Crunch: Policy Responses to Sudden Stops in Latin America” (IDB, 2009).
