Latin America will emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic with higher poverty rates as efforts to control the virus lead to spikes in unemployment and indebtedness, Inter-American Development Bank President Luis Alberto Moreno said in an interview.

The pandemic “will impoverish not only Latin Americans, the world in general, but clearly Latin America is going to be hit much harder because we are an emerging region,” he said. Though the sharpest contraction in the region has been in Venezuela, Moreno said the IADB cannot provide any funding for the government of President Nicolas Maduro because his administration is in default on some $700 million in loans.
