Beyond Borders: A Look at the Venezuelan Exodus
No Precedent: The Venezuelan Exodus The unprecedented migration from Venezuela is the largest and fastest displacement of vulnerable people in the world after the Syrian crisis. An estimated 3.7 million people have left Venezuela as of April 2019, according to the International Organization for Migration, and are now residing in neighboring countries including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and other countries across the region. Every day, thousands more are crossing the border, sometimes walking for weeks, fleeing the severe economic and social deterioration in Venezuela that has led to a humanitarian crisis. This massive exodus IS the second largest displacement in the world and is unprecedented in the recent history of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Risk management is fundamental for Latin America and the Caribbean. Incidents of natural disasters have tripled since 1970 and with climate change, their intensity and the frequency are going to increase.

In Thursday’s conversation on Protecting Latin America and the Caribbean’s Future Against Risks, Jorge Familiar, World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean was joined by a panel of leading financial experts and policymakers including Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup Latin America; Paraguay Minister of Finance Lea Giménez; Chief Executive of the State Development Bank of Brazil BNDES, Dyogo Henrique de Oliveira; President of Mexico’s National Banking and Securities Commission CNBV, Bernardo Gonzalez; and the Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, Timothy Antoine.

#Outlook2018 for Latin America: Will next year be better?

World Bank Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean Carlos Végh said on Wednesday that after six years of growth deceleration, 2017 would constitute the first year with an increase in growth. The improvement was mainly driven by a strong recovery in Argentina and a more tepid one in Brazil. However, the region will not have the benefits of favorable external factors such as a buoyant global economy or a great demand of raw materials. This means that Latin America must boost its own growth and put its house in order - in some cases with difficult public spending and money management decisions. This was acknowledged by Végh during the presentation of the report "Between a rock and a hard place: the monetary policy dilemma in Latin America and the Caribbean”. This commodity-exporting emerging markets face a critical monetary policy dilemma each time there is an external shock, for example a sudden fall in commodity prices. How should ...
