62. Conclusions

In the present global economic environment Latin
America growth was sharply reduced and its average rate
of inflation increased.
In the case of Colombia and the Pacific Alliance countries
the impact has been less severe due to their flexible
exchange rate regimes and responsible fiscal policies.
Nevertheless, in the next few years the greatest challenge
will be to find new sources of growth that will have to
involve the diversification of their exports.
In order to achieve this they need to attract high quality
FDI and better competitiveness policies
