1 From Tail Winds to Head Winds: Dilemmas and Trade offs for Monetary Policy in LAC Alain Ize Lima, June
2 Aims and caveats Two aims: Summarize the current policy dilemma and ask broad questions on how to address it Provide a broad regional perspective of policy responses thus far, by monetary regime Two (main) caveats: No answers here (there are certainly no easy answers, but much less at this level of generality) Very broad brush overview has to be viewed with care (simple averages can be misleading) 2
3 Outline Assessing the shocks Demand or supply? Transitory or permanent? Formulating a response The response so far Tackling the exchange rate Better mañana?... Expanding the policy frontier 3
4 Demand or supply? 4
5 Demand pressures would certainly be expected in countries facing positive terms of trade shocks VEN TTO CHL PER BOL ECU COL LAC ARG MEX BRA JAM PAR SLV GT DR NIC HND PAN HTI CRI URY Terms of Trade for Selected LAC countries change between in % Source: World Bank staff (LCRCE) calculations, ECLAC and Haver Analitics. 5
6 But even for the other countries, strong demand pressures are also likely to be present The rise in commodity prices coincides (and largely results from) a booming world demand =>Non commodity exporters also benefit Lots of free capital roaming around for higher returns (even more so since the Fed s reduction in interest rates) =>Low real interest rate environment 6
7 LAC output growth is (at present) the highest it has been in decades 7% Cyclical adjusted Growth in Latin America and High Income Countries Trend growth computed using the band pass filter 6% High-Income Latin America 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% Source: WDI World Bank; National Authorities.

11 Transitory or permanent? 11
12 There are strong uncertainties about the world cycle Is the current inflation outburst due to a temporary squeeze in the world output gap? Is the cycle finally about to crash, courtesy of the US sub prime market? Or will there be an orderly restrain in world demand, allowing supply to catch up? Will there be a policy turnaround at the FED? Can China control its demand?... Or are the growth bottlenecks structural and unlikely to disappear any time soon? 12
13 Is it nominal or real?... Relative price adjustments cannot go on forever and can only have transitory impacts on inflation But what happens when both demand and supply elasticities for food and energy are very low? If accomodated, real adjustments can trigger runaway inflation as a way to reconcile conflicting ex ante claims (the old structuralist story ): Real wage rigidities (inflationary erosion of nominal wages) Consumption rigidities (inflationary erosion of budgetary appropriations for special food purchases or subsidies) 13
14 The response so far 14
15 What does the book say? Supply shocks require a different response than demand shocks: With nominal price rigidities for core goods, it would be too expensive to immediately try to offset non core inflation With real price and wage rigidities, stabilizing prices destabilizes output (there is a trade off no divine coincidence between output and inflation) Hence, unless you are an inflation nutter (strict IT) or there is a risk of second round effects (possibly undermining the nominal anchor), temporary deviations from target due to pure supply shocks are ok But watch for: Shifts in longer term inflationary expectations Pass through of non core to core inflation (wages) 15
16 Indeed, many inflation targeters (or near targeters) have so far overshot their target Inflation Target and Actual Inflation for Selected LAC countries as of December 2007 in % YoY 10 Upper Bound of the Inflation Target Actual Inflation BRA CHL COL MEX PER GTM SLV HND 16

30 Tackling the exchange rate 30
31 Exchange rate adjustments are likely to play an increasingly important role in IT countries Financial globalization is increasingly limiting the scope for deviations from UIP Yet, at the same time, IT has led to lower exchange rate passthroughs More (real) exchange rate volatility Less direct impact on inflation from a real appreciation 31
32 Is this a problem? The conventional view Monetary policy cannot have sustained effects on anything else than inflation Real exchange rates (both in the short run and the long run) are strictly endogenous Real appreciations (hence adjustments in the tradable sector), as painful as they may be, are unavoidable for countries facing positive terms of trade shocks Targeting the exchange rate has the same drawbacks as targeting asset prices (it can only muddle the waters) Hence, only worry about exchange rates if they affect prices and the output gap However, to play safe: Target expected inflation and expected output Target domestic prices rather than the CPI 32
33 An alternative view The conventional IT paradigm is flawed because it is based on a single sector aggregate short term model: Two sector models (tradable/nontradable) highlight the higher potential output costs (in the tradable sector) of real appreciations There may be dynamic costs associated with (temporary) real appreciations (investment irreversibility; growth linkages a la Rodrick) =>This would suggest limiting exchange rate volatility, hence a more cautious/gradual approach at taming inflationary pressures On the other hand, focusing on domestic inflation only could also be dangerous: with real (wage) rigidities, it might be better to kill inflationary dynamics in the bud 33
34 Thus far, the appreciations do not seem to have been too detrimental to exports BRA CHL COL PER MEX Manufacture Exports from LAC Selected countries annual growth rates, in % Jan02 Jul02 Jan03 Jul03 Jan04 Jul04 Jan05 Jul05 Jan06 Jul06 Jan07 Jul07 Jan08 34
35 Better mañana? 35
36 Delaying the response has potential benefits Playing for time can: Help clear up some of the uncertainty about the world environment and limit the extent of policy asynchronism (hence the potential for exchange rate overshooting) 36
37 but also clear risks Inflationary expectations could end up unraveling if: Short term deviations from a simple policy rule are interpreted as a sign of a weak long term commitment to stable prices Real income rigidities are systematically accomodated => Is the sacrifice ratio tomorrow going to be even steeper than today? => Is this the moment of truth for IT in LAC countries: can it deliver more than exchange rate targeting? 37
38 Expanding the policy frontier 38
39 Could the effectiveness and flexibility of IT be improved through operational adjustments Possible adjustments include: Changing the nature of the inflation target Broadening or raising the inflation target Lengthening the targeting horizon Explicitly incorporating other targets (output, changes in real exchange rates, etc.) in the central bank s policy objectives Better communication and transparency (changes in content or strategy) Is it the right time for fiddling around with the IT scheme?... => Next presentation 39
40 Traditional attempts to escape the impossible trinity do not seem to have much rope left The effectiveness of exchange market intervention appears to be questionable when monetary policy needs tightening (Colombia?) Throwing sand in the wheels runs against the logic of increasing financial sophistication and globalization Price controls discourage supply and run into fiscal constraints 40
41 On the other hand, some targeted financial sector measures might help Encouraging capital outflows (institutional investors) Encouraging the development of exchange rate hedges Raising private domestic savings?... 41
42 A more countercyclical fiscal balance might also help raise domestic savings 2.0% Structural Fiscal Balance* For LAC 7, as % of GDP 1.0% Observed Balance Structural Balance 0.0% -1.0% -2.0% -3.0% -4.0% -5.0% Dec-91 Dec-92 Dec-93 Dec-94 Dec-95 Dec-96 Dec-97 Dec-98 Dec-99 Dec-00 Dec-01 Dec-02 Dec-03 Dec-04 Dec-05 Dec-06 Source: IDB. *A. Izquierdo, Ottonello, P., Talvi, E. (forthcoming), If Latin America were Chile: A Comment on Structural Fiscal Balances and Public Debt 42
43 And what about prudential policies? In view of the credit booms, are stronger measures to moderate credit growth (provisioning or capital requirements, liquidity requirements, etc.) called for? 43
44 some of this seems to have already occurred in the IT countries Assets: Reserves Assets: Credit to Priv. Liabilities: Deposits Monet. Autho.: Intern. Reserv.
