IADB chief says investors will see Latam merits Reuters, Friday, September 04, 1998 at 14:03 WASHINGTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Inter-American Development Bank President Enrique Iglesias said on Friday that he was confident investors would recognize the economic merits of Latin American nations and stop treating the region like other emerging markets. "Sooner or later the markets will start to differentiate," said Iglesias as he walked into a meeting at the IMF. The meeting was called to discuss ways to defend Latin American economies from global economic turmoil. He said investors would start to recognize that Latin American governments "have done a lot. We have put our house in order, and we did the banking reforms necessary to face this kind of crisis." Key Latin American financial markets plummeted Thursday amid bitter complaints by finance ministers that investors and credit rating agencies were treating the region like any other emerging market and not taking note of tough reforms undertaken by many regional governments. Colombia devalued its peso currency Wednesday, raising fears of a domino effect throughout the region. 898-8383, washington.economic.newsroom@reuters.com)) Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service
