The 1980s were a lost decade for Latin America, will the 1990s

also be lost? For some countries stabilization has not even

started. In other countries the stabilization accomplishments

remain tentative and ,vulnerable. And even those countries that

have established firmly a new path for their econoreic management

are still waiting for economic growth to return.

The hardest part of stabilization is the transition to growth.

Even with major adjustment efforts in place, growth does not

resume spontaneously. If the lack of recovery is due to a

coordination failure than market forces cannot resolve the

difficulty, a mechanism must be found to bring about the

coordination.
