1 Latin America Copes with Volatility, The Dark Side of Globalization 2012 Spring Meetings IMF-World Bank Chief Economist Office Latin America and the Caribbean The World Bank Washington, DC 18 April
2 LAC was bumping against capacity constraints after a strong recovery in the aftermath of the global crisis 12.0% Real GDP Growth Forecast Around The World Annual Real GDP Growth Rate, Weighted Average 45,000 % Growth Rate 10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 GDP Per Capita PPP (2010) 9% 8% 7% 6% 2011e 2012f Forecasts Across LAC Counrties 0.0% High Income South Africa Europe & Central Asia Latin East Asian America & Tigers Caribbean India 0 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% Jamaica El Salvador Trin. & Tob.

3 In addition, financial turbulence ignited in Europe in the second half of 2011 contributed to LAC s deceleration 5.5% LAC GDP Growth Forecasts Evolution 5.0% 4.5% 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% LAC7 - Foreign Agents LAC 7 - Domestic Agents Jan-11 Feb-11 Mar-11 Apr-11 May-11 Jun-11 Jul-11 Aug-11 Sep-11 Oct-11 Nov-11 Dec-11 Jan-12 Feb-12 Mar-12 LTRO marked a turning point => probability of tail-risk event dimmed This created breathing room for troubled Euro Zone countries to tackle their deep structural challenges 3
4 Reduced probability of a tail-risk event combined with low rates in rich countries is unleashing a search for yield US$ Millions 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1, ,000-2,000 Proxied By Mutual Fund Flows -3,000-4,000-5,000 Total (Equity + Bonds) LTRO I Equity Funds Bond Funds Jan-11 Feb-11 Mar-11 Apr-11 May-11 Jun-11 Jul-11 Aug-11 Sep-11 Oct-11 Nov-11 Dec-11 Jan-12 Feb-12 Increases in capital flows to LAC, especially of portfolio flows, add tensions to macroeconomic management: Keeping inflation expectations anchored in the face of economic overheating; Avoiding an excessive appreciation of the currency in a context of high but volatile commodity prices and capital flows. 4
5 The only certainty in LAC s path is uncertainty Mood swings and market fickleness characterize the current juncture Disproportionally large reactions to news can create sudden waves of optimism or pessimism Sovereign CDS for Selected European Countries In Basis Points Ireland+Portugal France UK Spain Italy S&P 500 and VIX Index Aug-10 Sep-10 Oct-10 Nov-10 Dec-10 Jan-11 Feb-11 Mar-11 Apr-11 May-11 Jun-11 Jul-11 Aug-11 Sep-11 Oct-11 Nov-11 Dec-11 Jan-12 Feb-12 Mar-12 Apr-12 Jun-11 Jul-11 Aug-11 Sep-11 Oct-11 VIX Index Nov-11 Dec-11 Jan-12 Feb-12 Mar-12 Apr-12 S&P500 VIX Index S&P 500 5
6 The focus of the report LAC s quest is to: Reap the benefits of integration (increase long-term growth and generate greater social equality) While cushioning the effects of external volatility, the dark side of globalization This report focuses on: 1. The nature of the financial volatility Very different financial globalization process today relative to the 80s and 90s 2. Landscape of vulnerabilities in LAC to external shocks Becoming more integrated (hence, more exposed) need not imply being more vulnerable 6
7 Two-way flows characterize the new financially globalized world Chile Brazil Net Capital Flows Capital Inflows by Foreigners Capital Inflows by Residents Capital Flows as % of GDP Capital Flows as % of GDP In the 80s, gross and net flows were similar as domestic investors played a very small role. Starting in the 90s, gross flows have dwarfed net flows Marked differences in the composition of gross flows by both foreigners and residents across LAC countries 7
8 International asset management industry is playing an increasingly important role in financial globalization They are very large players: Vanguard alone manages approximately US$1.7 trillion through mutual funds. A 1% increase in allocation (about $17 billion) to, for example, Colombia represents about 6% of Colombia s GDP; roughly the same amount of all gross capital inflows the country received from foreigners during the entire year of Asset managers amplify fluctuation and are pro-cyclical through herding behavior focused on short-term returns Exit vs. monitoring Performance compensation as a poor substitute to skin-in-the-game Mark-to-market valuation 8

10 However, global factors have gained importance vis-à-vis domestic factors, especially in times of turmoil 100% Equity Returns and the VIX Average R-Squared from Country Regressions 90% Early Period ( ) 80% 70% Late Period (Jan-05 to Jul-08) Crisis (Aug-08 to Apr-09) Percent 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% MSCI Latam w.r.t VIX and S&P500: VIX Coefficient Robust standard errors in parentheses Sep2006-Jul2008 Aug2008-May2009 Jun2009-Apr2010 May2010-current 10% 0% Equity Foreign Exchange CDS Spreads (0.0263) (0.019) (0.021) (0.073) Coefficient of VIX 10
11 Still, good policies matter, a lot in fact! Policies matter: At longer horizons, well-managed countries attract greater investment flows When tensions subside, countries with a strong set of policies are able to recover fast and are better placed to reap the benefits of global integration Both of these points are illustrated through LAC s performance in the aftermath 2008 global crisis No local financial crisis Consolidation of sound macro-financial policy frameworks and the associated build-up of buffers allowed the use of counter-cyclical policies A safer integration into the global financial system reduced the downside associated with greater financial integration There is, however, still large heterogeneity in the region. 11
12 A Landscape of Vulnerabilities across LAC Countries Important distinction: exposure vulnerability Our four layer approach: Define external shocks ( what-if approach) Analyze exposure to each of these shocks Assess the capacity of policy response when facing these external shocks Overall examination of vulnerability to external shocks Given non-linearities in today s globalized world, we provide a qualitative assessment of exposures and vulnerabilities across LAC countries A few caveats: A tsunami (i.e. a very large) external shock can overwhelm even the best macropolicy response capacity The focus is restricted to external shocks, self-inflicted shocks can still arise from unstable and un-viable domestic macroeconomic policies 12
