Analysis from the International Monetary Fund: Central America should deepen reform to increase economic growth

Tuesday, August 9, 2011


\ Sustained economic growth is necessary to increase the living standards of the people of Central America, writes Fernando L. Delgado of the International Monetary Fund Western Hemisphere Department.\ \ Against a backdrop of weak external demand, stronger policy frameworks and continued structural reforms will be key to unleashing the productivity gains needed to meet that challenge, Delgado writes.\ \ This was the overarching theme of the 10th Regional Conference on Central America held in Managua July 28–29. The conference was attended by the main economic authorities from seven countries of the region.\ \ Original source: International Monetary Fund\ \ \ \
