LAC Crece. The Productivity Engine: From Poverty to Prosperity

This series from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) explores why Latin America and the Caribbean has struggled to achieve sustained economic growth despite significant social, economic, and institutional progress. Hosted by Ana María Ibáñez, the IDB's Vice President for Sectors and Knowledge, each episode features conversations with experts about the region's productivity challenge, the role of investment, and the reforms needed to spur growth. The discussion links stronger growth to better jobs, higher incomes, and faster poverty reduction across the region. The podcast is produced by the IDB, which works to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean.
