Support in the Execution of Projects and Monitoring of Work Risks in Transportation Projects in Latin America and the Caribbean
The objective of this TC is to support the governments of Latin American and Caribbean region improving the execution of transport projects with emphasis on countries where the Inter-American development Bank (Bank) portfolio presents important challenges in execution, such as: Argentina, Guatemala, Haiti and Suriname. This will be developed through the implementation of solutions based on the generation of knowledge with evidence, for which the experience and lessons learned in the region will be taken as a reference. The specific objectives of this TC are: (i) to provide technical support to national and local executing agencies in generating knowledge based on experience in executing projects financed by the Bank; (ii) support executing agencies and governments in the implementation of solutions and innovative technologies during the project execution phase; and (iii) train executing agencies of national and local entities and institutions to improve the execution of projects and the proper management of work contracts with technological innovations.

2019 IDBG Climate Finance Data
At the IDB Groups Annual Meeting in 2016, the Board of Governors endorsed the goal to increase finance of climate change-related projects in the Latin American and Caribbean region to 30% of the IDBs and IICs combined total approvals by 2020, subject to demand from borrowing member countries and clients, and access to external sources of concessional finance. During 2019, the IDB Group - composed of the IDB, IDB Lab (formerly the Multilateral Investment Fund) and IDB Invest - approved approximately US$5 billion in climate finance, that is, for development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. This amount represented 29% of the IDB Groups total approved amount for 2019.

A roadmap to the mobility and logistics trends that are reshaping Latin America and the Caribbean
Today, governments are acutely aware that merely building new infrastructure is not the solution, and they are seeking the IDB Groups assistance in designing smarter transportation services that will meet their peoples expectations. This document describes the five broad shifts that are driving the IDB Groups transportation portfolio: (i) the social dimension of transportation services; (ii) new institutional and regulatory arrangements; (iii) logistics performance; (iv) secure resources for maintaining transport infrastructure, and (v) the digital transformation.

The Promises of Digital Bank Accounts for Low-income Individuals
The push for adopting digital modes of payment rests on three promises: increased efficiency of transactions, increased financial inclusion, and improvements in the financial well-being of low-income individuals. We experimentally test the extent to which these promises are fulfilled. We exploit the random assignment into an intervention to encourage direct deposits of recurrent government benefits into digital bank accounts in Colombia. Switching from cash to direct deposits reduces disbursement errors and increases access to benefits among eligible beneficiaries. It also increases the ownership of bank accounts, the demand for formal loans, and loan take-up among individuals without a financial history. However, we do not find evidence of improvements in financial well-being across any of our metrics.

El enfoque de la valla de la calidad: una aplicación a estudios de caso en la Región Andina
A pesar del potencial de las mypes para contribuir a la productividad y al empleo de calidad, muchas de ellas permanecen en un estado intermedio, sin lograr una modernización sustancial. Están atrapadas detrás de una “valla de la calidad” (Sabel & Ghezzi, 2021) que encapsula una serie de requisitos y estándares necesarios para su integración efectiva en cadenas de valor modernas. Revisamos los resultados de una serie de estudios de caso que examinan las vallas de la calidad en varios sectores de mypes en la región andina. Estos resultados muestran que estas vallas existen no solo en sectores de bienes, como la agricultura, sino que también están presentes en los sectores de servicios, que representan la mayoría de las mypes en la región. Además, los casos demuestran que las variables que explicarían esas vallas pueden categorizarse en tres grupos principales: (a) limitaciones en habilidades y conocimientos especializados; (b) desafíos en la aglomeración y articulación necesarias para alcanzar escalas de mercado eficientes; y (c) restricciones financieras que impiden inversiones cruciales. Estos desafíos persisten debido a fallas, tanto de Estado como de mercado, que se manifiestan en una regulación ineficiente, deficiencias educativas y de infraestructura, y una insuficiente difusión de conocimientos y tecnologías. Ante estos hallazgos, sugerimos la aplicación de políticas correctivas que cumplan un papel decisivo en facilitar la modernización de las mypes. Las fallas de Estado requieren de políticas para aumentar la eficiencia del sector financiero y reducir los costos de la formalidad, así como para racionalizar los estándares a las realidades de los mercados de las mypes y mejorar la coordinación y focalización de infraestructura y formación. Las fallas de mercado también implican un rol para el Estado, que consiste en aumentar la transferencia de capacidades y tecnología, y, en particular, promover la articulación y aglomeración, lo cual se puede lograr tanto directamente (por ejemplo, con programas como los CITE de Perú) como indirectamente, subsidiando una parte a través del sector privado. Las intervenciones políticas bien diseñadas y enfocadas pueden cumplir un papel prioritario para superar las vallas de la calidad y contribuir a transformar las mypes para orientarlas hacia la modernización.

Latin America and the Caribbean Standardized Public Debt Database: Data as of June 2023
This database compiles current standardized statistics on sovereign debt issuances for the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region and contains biannual data starting in 2006 through June 2023. Sovereign debt data is classified by legislation, creditor, currency, and maturity, among other areas, for 26 LAC countries. The availability of valid, comparable, and standardized public debt data is essential for the implementation of sound policies. As such, at the core of the LAC Debt Group initiative is the development of a standardized sovereign debt database to help debt managers, policymakers, and other actors of financial markets analyze the evolution and composition of public debt in the region and conduct cross-country comparisons. LAC public debt offices provided the data in response to a questionnaire specifically designed to allow comparability. The questionnaire, whose response is non-compulsory, is intended to compile current standardized statistics for objective and homogeneous definitions of public debt.

Taxation when Markets are not Competitive: Evidence from a Loan Tax
We study the interaction of market structure and tax-and-subsidy strategies utilizing pass-through estimates from the unexpected introduction of a loan tax in Ecuador, a quantitative model, and a comprehensive commercial-loan dataset. Our model generalizes bank competition theories, including Bertrand-Nash competition, credit rationing, and joint-maximization. While we find the loan tax is distortionary, neglecting the possibility of non-competitive lending inflates estimated tax deadweight loss by 80% because non-competitive banks internalize some of the burden. Conversely, subsidies are less effective in non-competitive settings. If competition were stronger, tax revenue would be 10% lower. The findings suggest that policymakers should consider market structure in tax-and-subsidy strategies.

Financial Development, Growth, and Inequality: The Role of Institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean
This publication explores the relationships between institutions, financial development, and income inequality. It assesses the extent of reforms that can promote financial development and argues that institutional improvements capable of increasing financial development can simultaneously mitigate income inequality. This work, focusing on the Latin American and Caribbean region, uses a broad set of measures of financial development, financial institutions, and capital markets. It employs a comprehensive set of inequality indicators and income definitions, as well an econometric model of the financial possibility frontier, to demonstrate that institutions contributing to financial development also help reduce income inequality.
