Over the last 15 years, countries in the region have made increasing use of structural reforms to turn their economies away from the closed, state-led economic model of the import-substitution industrialization period, toward greater market-orientation and openness to the rest of the world. Complementary aspects of this process have involved a higher priority for macroeconomic stability -especially in terms of lower inflation- and, more recently, greater social expenditure. Policymakers expected these changes to enhance productivity and boost economic growth, leading to job creation and greater equality.
