520 |a This first Annual Bank Conference on Development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) took stock of the immediate challenges created by the peso crisis and its aftermath and of the longer-term evidence that the region ' s record in addressing poverty and inequity necessitated a renewed commitment to deepen and extend reform. The six conference sessions focused on: 1) reforming the state by: reducing unwanted government intrusion in markets and increasing bureaucratic efficiency; privatizing; reducing unnecessary regulation; reorienting spending priorities around core government functions; improving service delivery through greater outsourcing; and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse through systemic reform of financial management; 2) differences in savings and economic growth in LAC and East Asia; 3) trade liberalization and trade flows; 4) poverty, equality, and human capital development; 5) education reform; and 6) capital markets and the Mexican peso crisis.
