TOKYO -- Latin America is becoming a "part of the solution to the global needs for the first time," Inter-American Development Bank President Ilan Goldfajn told Nikkei, as he sees opportunities for the region to work with the U.S., Japan and other partners on challenges like food security and climate change. With 48 members in and beyond Latin America, the IDB is one of the multilateral development banks along with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
