| Paraguay’s finance minister Santiago Peña |
This year Paraguay is marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of its most famous writers, Augusto Roa Bastos, who once described his landlocked country as: “An island surrounded by land”. The small Latin American country, with a population below 7 million, has long been overshadowed by its large neighbours of Argentina and Brazil.
Paraguay’s finance minister Santiago Peña remembers attending a lecture on Latin America by economist Jeffrey Sachs as a post-graduate at Columbia University.
