Duncan Wood, Kate Ambrose, David Dreyer, Carlos Elizondo, Eduardo Morón

Convoked at the Milken Conference, a panel led by figures such as David Dreyer and Eduardo Morón evaluated divergent Latin American economic trajectories, contrasting the market-oriented Pacific Alliance with protectionist models like Mercosur and ALBA. The discussion highlighted Mexico's manufacturing surge and macroeconomic stabilization alongside the region's critical human capital deficits, driven by low educational outcomes despite high spending. Experts concluded that capitalizing on Pacific Basin integration and completing structural reforms in education and labor markets is essential to sustain growth before the current window of opportunity closes.
