Regional
Context
The
World Bank Group serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the
Caribbean Region (LCR). Clients range from large rapidly growing sophisticated
middle-income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile
state. Despite immense resources, deep inequalities persist in most LCR
countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty. The
Bank's strategy in LCR is focused on five pillars: (a) stimulating growth and
improving competitiveness; (b) reducing poverty and inequality; (c) making
governments and institutions work for people; (d) providing a platform for
tackling global issues (climate change, trade, disease, migration); and (e) reducing
risk, whether from extreme weather events, climate change, crime, and violence,
or other. During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, LCR’s strategy is being adjusted
to help counties respond to unprecedented health and economic crisis by saving
lives; protecting poor and vulnerable people; ensuring sustainable business
growth and job creation; and strengthening policies, institutions, and
investments. The Bank will support countries in pursuing a green, inclusive,
and resilient recovery.
