Financial Reporting and Economic Development: The Way Forward (Informatión Financiera y Desarrollo Económico en America Latina: El Camino por Delante)

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for participating today in this regional conference for the Caribbean and Latin America on accounting and accountability for regional economic growth.

Together with the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, it is our intention that this conference provide us the opportunity to identify the principal challenges and questions that the region needs to address and, above all, to permit us to identify concrete solutions and, in some cases, to consider collaborative projects that make these solutions viable or more efficient. ** Note: Attached below are the English and Spanish versions of this speech.
