About this webinar

The COVID-19 shock has had deep effects on financial systems throughout the region. To address them, the policies adopted in the different areas have managed to preserve financial stability. However, future risks and challenges persist, particularly if the crisis continues and leads to widespread solvency problems.

To discuss these issues from a technical point of view, we have invited those in charge of financial stability from the central banks of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Based on their experiences and visions, each of the speakers will make an initial presentation followed by rounds of questions. This webinar provides valuable analytical elements to better understand the current situation, policy measures, and challenges to financial stability in Latin America.
