MEDELLIN, Colombia (Reuters) – Latin America could suffer a fall over 50 percent in private capital flows this year, when the region's economy will shrink rather than grow, said on Sunday a group of influential bankers.

The Institute of International Finance (IIF by their initials in English) published a new report on the region under the annual meeting of the Inter-American Development Bank, which brings together the leaders of Latin American finance to discuss how to limit the impact of the global economic crisis.

Private Flows capital in the region would fall to 34,000 million dollars in 2009, representing a decrease of 57 percent over last year, according to the report.
