Toward fulfilment of the targets in terms of poverty reduction

Although the reduction of extreme poverty by half by the year 2015 continues to be feasible for Latin America, the more modest expectations regarding the economic growth that can be attained during the period give rise to restrictions and doubts in this respect. It is therefore increasingly important to formulate policies which will strengthen the growth capacity but at the same time permit the progressive redistribution of resources so as to give preference to the aim of raising the standards of living of the most deprived sectors.
