A Brookings Institution Press and Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) publication

Access to finance is critical in setting the course for development in emerging market economies. In this innovative study, which provides the first book-length analysis of the Latin American financial sector, Barbara Stallings and Rogerio Studart examine the dramatic changes resulting from financial liberalization in the region. The authors begin by discussing the critical transformations taking place in Latin America since 1990—a period marked by acceleration toward a new open, market-oriented development model, and away from a semi-closed model relying heavily on the state. Stallings and Studart examine changes in ownership of the financial sector and government regulation of banking, evaluate the role of capital markets as a source of finance, and compare Latin America's financial sector to that of East Asia.

The second section of the book features case studies that demonstrate the changes occurring in Chile, Mexico, and Brazil with particular reference to finance for investment and access to credit. The authors conclude with a set of policy recommendations aimed at strengthening Latin American banks and capital markets so that they can play a greater role in supporting economic development.

Industry Reviews

"By providing a solid literature survey of the subject, this book also offers first-rate comparative perspectives on Latin American and East Asia and provides more insights and cogent cross-regional perspectives than other volumes on the topic....The book is superbly written, cogently argues, almost jargon free, full of well-chosen empirical data, and a timely contribution to the literature. Essential." -R.A. Beauregard, Columbia University, Choice, 1/1/2007

"Finance for Development is a thoughtful, thorough and precise book which adds depth to the study of finance in Latin America." - Journal of Latin American Studies, 7/1/2007
