Fifth Edition, 146 pp.
Well functioning financial markets are one of the most important determinants for economic development and growth. The IDB Group (the Inter-American Development Bank, the Inter-American Investment Corporation and the Multilateral Investment Fund) collaborates with governments and the private sector to reduce financial market deficiencies and devote significant resources to financial market development. This effort was reflected in more than 374 projects approved for 26 countries that total approximately US$22.2 billion between 1990 and 2004. Most of the operations supported financial intermediation, capital markets, insurance markets, pension reform, housing finance, and, more generally, financial market deepening.
This fifth edition of Financial Market Development offers a general view of the activities of the Bank Group that supported financial market development in Latin America and the Caribbean during the period 1990-2004. A consolidated description of the activities undertaken in the period is also included, which illustrates the contributions of the Bank Group in the financial market area. The report, which is published every two years, concludes with some comments on how the Bank Group expects to continue its support.
Juan José Durante and Mónica Almonacid have prepared this fifth edition of Financial Market Development.
