International Money: Luis Alberto Moreno

Luis Alberto Moreno, President, Inter-American Development Bank
Moreno is a former Colombian ambassador to Washington who sold the administration on Plan Colombia, a U.S.-financed strategy to fight the Colombian drug cartels. He learned of the U.S. cutoff decision while meeting the IDB board in Paraguay. But not all Latin American countries are net beneficiaries of the IDB these days, and Moreno says he had made up the shortfall in commitments by the end of the meeting.
