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. 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zCaribbean Area 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zLatin America 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 676 $a338.098 700 $aFay$b Marianne$0949883 701 $aMorrison$b Mary$f1972-$0961793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451022103321 996 $aInfrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean$92180409 997 $aUNINA
