Latin American Economic Outlook 2010
“Among the most interesting surprises by the global economic crisis: so far its impact on Latin America has been less than anticipated. This OECD report offers a clear analysis of the factors that explain this phenomenon.” Moisés Naim, Editor in Chief, Foreign Policy
“This essential study shows that countries open to the international economy with serious fiscal and monetary policies were better prepared to confront this crisis. The reprot also explains, with realistic analysis, why why migration policies belong on the international agenda.” Ricardo Lagos,former President of Chile
“This volume suggests that migration can help the development process provided that some interventions are adopted both in the sender and recipient countries.” Mauricio Cárdenas, Senior Fellow and Director of the Latin America Initiative, Brookings Institution
“Policy makers, academics and others interested in Latin American will find here a serious and relevant contribution to advancing their own work.” Santiago Levy,Vice President for Sectors and Knowledge, Inter-American Development Bank

Preface
OECD Development Centre
The OECD Latin American Economic Outlook 2010 is released at a critical moment for Latin America and the Caribbean. On the heels of the first unambiguous contraction of GDP in 25 years, a considerable drop in foreign trade and investment and a surge in unemployment, the region’s economic outlook for 2010 is already substantially positive. However, the one million dollar question is to what extent Latin America’s economic pragmatism of the past decade will translate into the necessary stability to focus on the many development challenges the region faces in a still uncertain global economic scenario.
