| Summary: | The authors review the international
framework governing trade in financial services, describe
the treatment of financial services in recent trade
agreements involving Latin America and Caribbean countries,
and analyze the liberalization commitments made in three
selected country case studies-Chile, Colombia, and Costa
Rica. They give emphasis to free trade agreements because of
the generally deeper level of liberalization and rule-making
achieved to-date. The authors discuss some of the causes and
potential implications of their findings. |
