Extending financial services to Latin America's poor

  • In the past few years, Latin America has enjoyed considerable economic success, but conditions for the majority of the region’s citizens have not improved substantially.
  • Despite remarkable accomplishments at the macro level, Latin American leaders have often neglected the micro dimension of development. Financial markets have an important role to play here.
  • Financial development empowers individuals to achieve their full potential as producers, savers, investors, and consumers.
  • Building well-functioning financial and banking markets that could promote greater “financial democracy” should be a policy priority for governments and development finance institutions alike.
