The banking sector reforms that the countries of Latin America undertook in the 1990s were an important step forward, but proved insufficient. This article highlights the need to deal with some structural issues, such as the supervision of financial conglomerats, excessive market concentration among a few institutions nationally and region-wide, and the relationship between this and the safety nets which are supposed to contain systemic crises, but which are unable to do so adequately.

La reforma que los paises de America Latina emprendieron durante el decenio de 1990 en el sector bancario constituyo un importante avance, pero ha resultado insuficiente. Para superar las dificultades en la materia es esencial una genuina voluntad politica de llevar a cabo las transformaciones requeridas. El articulo destaca la necesidad de abordar algunos temas estructurales, como la supervision de conglomerados financieros, la concentracion excesiva del mercado a nivel nacional y regional en unas pocas instituciones, y su relacion con las redes de seguridad para contener crisis sistemicas, que resultan insuficientes.
