Las instituciones financieras multilaterales regionales y subregionales y su aporte al desarrollo socio económico de América Latina.

Abstract

After the Second World War the countries that participated in it were practically devastated in their infrastructures and in their economies. From that moment and by general agreement in view of the urgency facing those countries emerged in 1944 a new economic order from the United States with the so-called Bretton Woods conference. In this conference several theses were raised, which had as a fundamental axis the economic stabilization of nations, but two were the most relevant, one was proposed by John Maynard Keynes of the United Kingdom and the other by Harry Dexter White of the United States, and it was this last thesis that prevailed. From this thesis was born the International Monetary Fund with its stabilization fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development that later would be renamed the World Bank Group in order to rebuild Europe. What we currently know as Multilateral Development Banks and how they are administered has not been transgressed over time, they continue to operate according to what was established at the Bretton Woods conference. In Latin America, there are several Multilateral Development Banks that have been operating for decades and have collaborated with the development of our region. Among them is the World Bank, which along with the Inter-American Development Bank has proposed to eliminate poverty in our region.
