About the Book

This ground-breaking book analyses the severe monetary policy challenges facing Latin American countries. Contributors reflect on how these issues should be addressed by policy-makers, identifying the need for a synergic response from regional central banks. Arguing that the challenges currently faced by regional central banks are intrinsically related, this book examines the risks generated by an international climate of uncertainty. It explores how to address inflationary pressures, output contraction, external vulnerabilities, tightness in advanced central banks’ monetary policies, nominal dollar appreciation, and falling commodity prices. Chapters focus on key elements of monetary policy, including transmission channels, exchange rates, international reserves, sustainable finance, and income inequality, to give an alternative view on the position of regional central banks in the global financial system. Monetary Policy Challenges in Latin America will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of monetary policy, development economics, banking, and political economy. It will also be essential reading for policy-makers seeking new perspectives on monetary policy.

Review :
‘Monetary Policy and Challenges in Latin America manages to articulate a set of chapters around dialoguing themes, identifiable controversies, and clear messages. They address topics that have always been of interest to the research agenda of the region and require constant updating: criticism of the mainstream, study of the concrete specificities of Latin American economies, pursuit of alternative economic policies, and commitment to structurally addressing the economic and social ills imposed on the region by its peripheral position.’ ‘In this significant contribution, the editors and authors identify several key analytical dimensions for monetary policy makers in Latin America, while providing a comprehensive view on how to address the main monetary challenges of our time with concrete proposals, theoretical discussions, empirical evidence and analytical rigour. An outstanding contribution which should be widely read by scholars, students and policy makers.’ ‘What a wonderful collection of essays on the challenges faced in Latin America. The editors have brought together an impressive list of scholars, both young and more established, to tackle difficult questions surrounding monetary policy. This book is an important step forward and must be read by all who wish to understand the complexity surrounding the economics of Latin America. Congratulations to the editors and to the authors.’ ‘This book puts together 14 excellent policy-oriented - theoretical and empirical - contributions from important post-Keynesian and Structuralist economists. It focuses on policy and institutional arrangements to manage and overcome Balance-of-Payments constraints in Latin America. A must-read for those interested in heterodox short and medium-run open economy macroeconomics.’
