Bond Markets in Latin America

"This book is a unique tool for understanding how private bond markets have evolved in Latin America after almost two decades of economic reforms. This compilation of essays by top-notch experts explains both the impressive developments of the fixed income markets of the region and the main obstacles they currently face. Given its detailed analysis and its coverage, this volume will become a reference book for academics, practitioners, and policy makers interested in the development of financial markets in emerging markets."--Aldo Musacchio, Harvard Business School -- Aldo Musacchio "This book is a unique tool for understanding how private bond markets have evolved in Latin America after almost two decades of economic reforms.
