vulnerabilities, tightness in advanced central banks’ monetary
policies, nominal dollar appreciation, and falling commodity

alternative view on the position of regional central banks in the
global financial system. Monetary Policy Challenges in Latin
America will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of

economy. It will also be essential reading for policy-makers

Responding to global events, including the international financial
crisis (IFC) and the COVID-19 pandemic, central banks and the
monetary regimes in many Latin American countries responded with
actions to mitigate the worst impacts. The authors in this book
focus on the recent trends of monetary policy in Latin America and

performance of these countries. The book is composed of 11 chapters
that analyze, theoretically and empirically, the central banks'
actions and the monetary regimes of the following countries:

crises. Academic researchers and students of economics will find a
wealth of knowledge contained in these chapters, as will anyone
