Argentina, Brazil and the rest of Latin America, are well positioned to face risks in the event of a global financial recession, according to the World Bank vice president for Latin America Pamela Cox, who visited Uruguay recently.

Ms Cox who was in a meeting with government officials from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, said that the region is well able to suffer external shocks from the crisis in the United States, as a result of four years running of sustained growth at 5%.
