Q: What has the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) learned since its inception more than 50 years ago, and what are its ambitions for Latin America and the Caribbean for the next 50 years?
A: Over the past 50 years, the bank has supported the region's development. Although there has been visible progress both in the economic and social fronts, there are still major challenges for the region in the years ahead. The most immediate one is to recover from the effects of the current international financial crisis.
