Better Spending for Better Lives

How Latin America and the Caribbean Can Do More with Less

Alejandro Izquierdo , Carola Pessino , Guillermo Vuletin , Inter American Development Bank

Business & Economics / Development / Sustainable Development

How can this puzzle of larger demands and fiscal strengthening be solved? This edition of the development in the Americas (DIA) report focuses precisely on this question. The book suggests that the answer is about fiscal efficiency and smart spending rather than the standard solution of across-the-board spending cuts to achieve fiscal sustainability— sometimes at great cost for society. It is about doing more with less.

·        Analysis of government spending in Latin America and the Caribbean reveals widespread waste and inefficiencies that could be as large as 4.4 percent of the region’s GDP, showing there is ample room to improve basic services without necessarily spending more resources. 

·        The publication argues against across-the-board cuts. It looks at whether countries spend too much or too little on different priorities, whether they invest enough to ensure a better future, and whether those expenditures make inequality better or worse.  

·        Along with the diagnosis, the report offers several policy recommendations on how to improve the efficiency of government spending.
