The poorest will be the hardest hit across Latin America and the Caribbean by the economic fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with the region facing further inflationary pressure, a senior official at the International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday.
"High inflation, especially food inflation, affects the poor in our region the most. So that's the main challenge that the region will face," Ilan Goldfajn, the head of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, told Reuters.
