It argues that the region's infrastructure has suffered from public retrenchment and unrealistic expectations about private involvement. Poor infrastructure now hampers productivity, growth, and poverty reduction. Addressing this requires more and better spending, and acceptance that governments remain central to infrastructure provision and supervision, although the private sector still has an important role to play.Infrastructure (Economics)Caribbean AreaInfrastructure (Economics)Latin AmericaElectronic books.Infrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)338.098Fay Marianne949883Morrison Mary1972-961793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451022103321Infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean2180409UNINA
