The Second RFM Annual Meeting took place in Viña del Mar, Chile, on July 3, 2009. As the global financial environment continued to deteriorate, Ministers discussed the lingering impact of the crisis on their economies and the region. In terms of structural concerns, the Meeting reviewed the main policy issues identified as priorities in the First Meeting, especially in the areas of infrastructure investment and energy efficiency, while also providing an opportunity for Ministers to further discuss mechanisms to facilitate policy coordination at the regional level, as well as to increase the provision of regional public goods.
