Abstract:
In the long term, development in Central America requires that the region have a modicum of peace and that the countries adopt economic policies aimed at creating open, free-market systems. If these conditions are met, Central America can again attain the growth levels it enjoyed in the past and become an attractive place to invest. Should these objectives fail to materialize, any amount of development assistance to the region will be in vain.
