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.

Notes:: 15 p., Warns about a series of crises that have increased the potential for serious trouble in Haiti. Suggests there is an urgent need for broad political consensus and improved relations between the executive and legislative branches of government, as well as a government-donor-civil society partnership to kick-start a community-oriented reconstruction process. This includes building a social safety net for hurricane victims and jobs-oriented infrastructure projects that prioritize areas hard-hit by the floods, boosting agriculture and enhancing a longer-term poverty reduction and economic growth strategy.
