Money Affairs This is a semiannual publication initiated in 1988, which opened a new forum for specialists from Latin American and English speaking nations to analyze current topics on the areas of monetary, exchange and financial economy. It regularly addresses those events affecting Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the United States, the European Union, and Japan. Each of the issues comprises an average of six or seven articles, usually with several of them focused on a single issue in order to discuss it from various perspectives. The papers are authored mainly by researchers from the central banks of Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and Japan.
