The World Bank report said significant deficits across the region limit investments needed to reach the area's growth potential. "There's potential for doing what we do in a different way," said William Maloney, Latin America and the Caribbean chief economist at the World Bank. The debt-to-output ratio has fallen to 64% from 67% a year ago, but remains above 57% in 2019. With interest rates climbing in developed markets and growing expectations they will remain higher for some time, the ratio points to a growing cost of servicing that debt.
