Analyzes the macroeconomic impact of East Asia's growing demand for primary and industrial commodities in four Latin American countries - Brazil, Chile, Peru and Venezuela. Shows that while the export boom has contributed to improved external accounts in these countries, it has posed the challenges of how to manage the surpluses.
