Senior fellow Liliana Rojas-Suarez is quoted in this Bloomberg article about the U.S. pushing the Inter-American Development Bank to take on more risk and increase lending to some of the region's smaller companies
From the article:
Liliana Rojas-Suarez, a former economist for the IDB who now is a fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, said lending standards shouldn't be relaxed too much.
"Nobody goes to multilaterals during good times,'' she said. "In bad times, the remaining weaknesses in Latin America are going to show up and then no one will be discussing the relevance of multilaterals anymore.''
