About this listen

  • For Latin America, the 1980s were a “Lost Decade.” Many Latin American countries failed to make the payments on their foreign debt.

  • In the 1970s, oil spiked to record highs twice, which led to many Latin American countries experiencing current account deficits.

  • Banks began to stop foreign lending as they tried to collect on their existing loans. The sudden cut-off of lending sent many Latin American economies into deep recessions.

  • Despite evidence of the problem, most involved did not recognize the problem until it had become a crisis.
