19 Real Exchange Rate Policies: Leaning Against the Wind or Growth Oriented Policy? Leaning against the wind policies are short or medium-term in nature, and therefore could be manageable But growth oriented policies are in principle longer-term and may carry some difficult choices
20 Real Exchange Rate Policies: Costs Targeting the RER away from equilibrium may be a loosing battle with inflationary consequences (Calvo et al 1994). Alternatively, RER depreciation beyond equilibrium will require sterilization policies to fight inflation Cuasi-fiscal costs of sterilization Latin America is not China: Closed vs. open capital account Quasifiscal surplus vs. deficit
21 Real Exchange Rate Policies: Is it the tool? Studies do not control for Sudden Stop-type type crises: Large RER depreciation coincides with later recovery at high growth rates (Calvo( Calvo,, Izquierdo & Talvi,, 2006) If diversification is related to the provision of specific factors (Hausmann( et al, 2006), it is not clear that across the board policies in tradable sectors are desirable In particular, if accompanied by export taxes (the case of Argentina), most subsidies go to import substitution activities To the extent that the fisc depends on these taxes to obtain its primary surplus, then risks to debt sustainability increase

31 OUTLINE I. The External Environment: The Stars are Aligned II. Activity Performance: Great or Average? III. Macroeconomic Policies: Are They What They Seem? II. Final Remarks
32 FINAL REMARKS The current bonanza and macroeconomic fundamentals in Latin America are largely supported by an exceptionally favorable external environment. There have been policy improvements (more flexible exchange rate regimes, better monetary policy, dedollarization). However, the current bonanza may be masking fragilities: macroeconomic indicators that look good today may worsen quickly if the external environment deteriorates. And if it doesn t? What if higher terms of trade and benign financial conditions are here to stay? Are we using the good times to strengthen vulnerabilities? Are we making use of this bonanza for much needed long-term investments?
