IMF's Regional Economic Outlook for the Western Hemisphere
Growth in Latin America has slowed down significantly more than expected, despite promising predictions earlier this year. This event, the second in a two-part series, will address a series of questions, including: To what extent does this reflect a synchronized slowdown across all emerging economies? Do financial market developments in Latin America mirror developments in the real economy? Looking forward, what are the key risks that the region will have to contend with and what should be policy priorities? For answers on these questions and more, join the CSIS Americas Program for a discussion of the International Monetary Fund's Regional Economic Outlook for the Western Hemisphere.
