Three years after the outbreak of the Latin American crisis, United States Treasury Secretary James Baker announced a systematization of the initial response. It was not very imaginative: Banks and multilateral development institutions should all lend more, and the debtors should continue their efforts to improve their macroeconomic policies.
拉美债务危机爆发三年后，时任美国财长贝克（James Baker）宣布了一个将初步对策系统化的方案。该方案缺乏新意：银行和多边开发机构都要增加放贷，而债务人要继续努力改善宏观经济政策。贝克计划令各方失望。经济增长再度滑落，而国际货币基金实际上减少了放贷量。
