The Accelerating Pace of Change Developments in Latin America

摘要

Good morning: It's a pleasure to be here. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to interchange some thoughts as to what is going on in Latin America and, there's plenty going on. I note that the overall theme of our meeting today and tomorrow is "The Accelerating Pace of Change". Those of us heavily involved with Latin America may have a slight advantage in this area in that we are very used to change; change that is frequent, often unexpected, and sometimes not easily understood. On the other hand, this experience doesn't seem to improve dramatically our ability to predict specific outcomes.
