In this episode of LatAm Unboxed, we speak with Paolo Giordano, Principal Economist at the IDB.

Paolo provides larger context so we can understand what that 6.4% growth is showing us.

But in speaking with Diego, Paolo goes further to explore what Latin America needs to do to really expand its economic growth for the future.
