What does this database cover?It covers 52 countries over the 2001-2011 period and supports a study on the link between financial intermediation and saving in Latin America and the Caribbean. How does the LAC region compare on financial depth?The study finds that the LAC region lags well behind other regions in terms of financial depth, as measured by gross private domestic financial assets. What share of private financial wealth is invested abroad?LAC countries have about 40 percent of gross private financial wealth invested abroad, while just 4 percent of gross private liabilities have that origin. How much saving is intermediated through the banking system?In the specific case of bank deposits, just 5 percent of household saving and 3 percent of business saving are kept in the banking system. How developed are pension funds in the region?Within the institutional investor industry, pension funds are relatively developed in the region, although they grew out of the compulsory pension systems established in several countries during the 1980s and 1990s. What composition characterizes the private sector portfolio in LAC?LAC countries hold a larger share of bank deposits and cash in the private sector portfolio, compared to non-bank assets such as bonds and shares. What is the source publication for this dataset?The dataset is associated with the IDB publication "Wealth, Financial Intermediation, and Saving in Latin America and the Caribbean" (https://publications.iadb.org/en/wealth-financial-intermediation-and-saving-latin-america-and-caribbean).
