Notes:
10 p., At the G20, world leaders agreed on the need of a concerted and coordinated response to the financial crisis, and at the same time committed to lay the foundations to move beyond the crisis to a sustainable recovery. However, Latin America and the Caribbean still lack adequate and efficient institutional mechanisms and instruments to tackle long-term common development challenges at the regional level. The Annual Meeting of the Finance Ministers of the Americas and the Caribbean provides an opportunity to fill this gap.
