Uruguay -- Index.With growth slowing across much of the Latin America as a result of the end of the commodity supercycle and economic rebalancing in China, as well as fragmentation of the international banking system, policies to stimulate growth are needed. This book examines the financial landscapes of seven Latin American economies—Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay—and makes a case for them to pursue regional financial integration. Chapters set out the benefits to the region of financial integration, the barriers to cross-border activity in banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and capital markets, as well as recommendations to address these barriers. Finally, the volume makes the case that regional integration now could be a step toward global integration in the short term.BooksBanks and BankingimfFinance: GeneralimfInsuranceimfPublic FinanceimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfExports and ImportsimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfPension FundsimfNon-bank Financial InstitutionsimfFinancial InstrumentsimfInstitutional InvestorsimfSocial Security and Public PensionsimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfInsurance CompaniesimfActuarial StudiesimfGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationimfFinanceimfPensionsimfBankingimfInsurance & actuarial studiesimfInternational economicsimfInsurance companiesimfFinancial integrationimfPension spendingimfFinancial institutionsimfFinancial marketsimfExpenditureimfRegional integrationimfEconomic integrationimfInternational financeimfBanks and bankingimfFinancial services industryimfLatin AmericaEconomic integrationBrazilimfBanks and BankingFinance: GeneralInsurancePublic FinanceIndustries: Financial ServicesExports and ImportsGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Pension FundsNon-bank Financial InstitutionsFinancial InstrumentsInstitutional InvestorsSocial Security and Public PensionsBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesInsurance CompaniesActuarial StudiesGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationFinancePensionsBankingInsurance & actuarial studiesInternational economicsInsurance companiesFinancial integrationPension spendingFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsExpenditureRegional integrationEconomic integrationInternational financeBanks and bankingFinancial services industry337.18Enoch Charles865326Bossu Wouter1816451Caceres Carlos882223Singh Diva1450442International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910961960403321Financial Integration in Latin America4372535UNINA
