He also stated that these are not the product of a single cause, but they result from an unmeasurable amount of factors, throughout Latin America&#8217;s historical landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGrow rates in Latin America in the last twenty years have been rather mediocre, especially if we compare it to the group of countries with emerging economies in Asia, and some others we included in our sample, like, Egypt, Turkey, Malaysia, Poland and South Africa. This group of countries used to report half the income per capita than Latin America, today they are almost at the same level\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he assured.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24476\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?resize=1000%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mundoitam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC0020.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He elaborated further in the trade with foreign countries, the export basket and their complexity. He stated that, despite the fact that Mexico&#8217;s economy is more open than before and has a complex and diversified export basket, Latin America is a whole other case. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLatin America continues to be a relatively closed economy, and despite that the exportation in proportion of the product had an important growth since the 90&#8217;s, in the rest of the countries was larger .\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stated Ortiz Mart\u00ednez.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, the cost of criminality and drug trafficking has not been overlooked as another issue that has depleted the economical growth in the region. Ort\u00edz states that a huge underestimation from government agencies exists when calculating how it affects each country&#8217;s GDP, and how organized crime implies a plummeting in the economical development rates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On his part, Dr. Arminio Fraga continued the presentation by diving deeper into schooling and education value in the world, he mentioned the case of Korea. He noted his admiration for the high rates and averages of schooling and the quality of the education. and, he even remembered that the evaluation of the quality of education in Latin America is scattered, stating that there is a relevant co-relation between the teaching levels and the economical development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fraga Neto also mentioned, as another factor, the fact that investment rates are much lower in comparison with emerging economies.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAn important element is that gross capital formation in Latin America is substantially lower than in the rest of the countries with which we compare ourselves\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> he stated .<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, part of the problem corresponds to a institutionalization of public politics considered illegitimate by the population, situation that results from the the mistrust in the governmental agencies, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Velasco, likewise, strengthen Dr. Fraga&#8217;s thesis that part of the meager growth in the region can be linked to skepticism of the system, low trust and the low credibility of the economic system, the implementation of public politics and financial institutions. Velasco Bra\u00f1es listed four points that should be prioritized to be able to get out of economical stagnation: macroeconomic arrangement and restructuring, fiscal reorganization, monetary reorganization, trust building and legitimization of institutions. Likewise, the issue of the legislative bodies not legislating and their inability of reaching a consensus was addressed, as it delays the acting capabilities of all the government agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLatin America has an special tendency to having governments without parliamentary majority. If we have a parliamentary system, with twenty two political parties as in Chile, is impossible to reach an agreement, and if they don&#8217;t reach an agreement, the Congress doesn&#8217;t legislate, and therefore, they aren&#8217;t doing their job.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> he lamented.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, Dr. Velasco opts for a government plan in which they work hand in hand with the private sector, and insisted that they can&#8217;t fix the economic problem without fixing the political system.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is very difficult to do these economic reforms unless they are preceded by political changes, without the majority in congress, change doesn&#8217;t happen. This political issue is probably the heart of the conflict in the region and if we don&#8217;t tackle it the recommendations that economists make give are not going to be applied.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he added.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, even-though Velasco criticized the actions of regional parliaments, he didn&#8217;t justified, under any circumstance, the transfer of issues and legislative activities to the Supreme Courts, and reminded us that the public life prosecution is an unequivocal symptom of failure in politics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a joint conclusion of all the speakers, in which they reiterate all these points, they presented the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.project-syndicate.org\/commentary\/latin-america-growth-longstanding-problems-how-to-fix-by-arminio-fraga-et-al-2023-09\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Latin America&#8217;s Growth Conundrum<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, product of the work and research of the team formed by the three economists, in which the issue is discussed in depth.
