Meeting in Calgary last month, the Inter-American Development Bank reported that $266 billion entered Latin America’s seven largest economies in 2010, compared to less than $50 billion a year, on average, between 2000 and 2005. And while only 37% of inflows in 2006 were “hot money” that can leave at a moment’s notice, last year such inflows accounted for 69% of the total.
在上月卡尔加里会议上发布的一份美洲开发银行报告显示，2010年有2660亿美元资金流入拉美七个最大的经济体，而2000-2005年间的年平均值还只有500亿。2006年时仅有37%的资金是一有风吹草动就会撤走的“热钱”，而去年这个比例则上升到了69%。
