21 ROADMAP To assess the predominant view on the region in the face of the global crisis, we proceed as follows: i. Go beyond a snapshot of the region and see the motion picture right to the end, tracing the macrodynamics under alternative hypotheses on how the global recovery unfolds ii. Develop a simple framework emphasizing liquidity issues as a key element in evaluating the region s risks and policy trade-offs

Liquidity crises, if they occur, will be sequential rather than simultaneous Liquidity problems may evolve gradually but materialize suddenly when a critical threshold is hit. Therefore, problems may not be evident until it is too late

40 MACRO DYNAMICS IN LATIN AMERICA UNDER TWO HYPOTHESES ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMY CONCLUSIONS Under a V-shaped global recovery, the dynamics of key macro fundamentals suggest that the predominant views on the region are largely correct Under the L-shaped scenario, the region could experience negative growth in 2009 and 2010 and average growth will be close to zero in the next five years A key feature of this scenario is that the deterioration in fundamentals, i.e., fiscal, banking and liquidity indicators, is gradual and therefore problems may not become evident until it is too late It is crucial to anticipate gathering problems early on to act in a timely fashion, and to design a set of policies that prevent countries from entering into financially fragile territory

42 CONFRONTING THE GLOBAL CRISIS IN LATIN AMERICA: POLICY TRADE OFFS Under precarious access to credit markets liquidity considerations become paramount The benefits of alternative policies should be primarily weighed against their immediate impact on the international liquidity ratios (ILRs) of a country and how they affect the likelihood of a liquidity crisis and a severe output contraction

47 POLICY PROPOSALS THE ROLE OF MULTILATERALS Precarious access to credit markets for many emerging market governments calls for multilaterals to step in and play a key role as a lenders (and borrowers)-of-last resort, akin to the role that credible governments, such as the US government, play domestically The question then is not whether multilaterals should play a key role in the current crisis, but which is the most effective way to channel their intervention and at what financial cost
48 POLICY PRINCIPLES 1. Strengthen the role of multilateral institutions. Multilateral support will be vital under precarious access to credit markets. 2. Move away from short-term financing. Multilaterals should avoid short-term emergency financing and only consider medium to long-term financing in order to partially complete markets in terms of maturities. 3. Redefine the emphasis of multilateral support. Multilaterals should not only provide medium to long-term financing for fiscal stimulus when fiscal sustainability is not at stake but more importantly, they should provide for long-term refinancing of maturing debt obligations. 4. Ensure that countries work towards sustainable fiscal policy while strengthening social protection. Multilateral support should be complemented with incentive-compatible conditionality, to ensure fiscal sustainability and strengthen social protection.

52 Confronting the Global Crisis in Latin America: The Role of Multilaterals Financial Support - Long term financing - Emphasis on refinancing public debt amortizations Multilaterals Conditionality Set targets to ensure a consistent macro framework emphasizing the dynamics of fiscal deficits and public debt, while engaging in social protection policies (expenditure switching or expenditure increasing)
53 CLOSING REMARKS A strategy by the IMF and multilaterals that only pays attention to financing countercyclical fiscal policies is incomplete and ignoring the impact of expansionary policy on liquidity ratios can be a costly mistake. It is necessary that lender (and borrower)-of-last-resort functions, similar to those that governments perform in developed economies, be recreated for LAC by multilateral institutions, so that liquidity concerns are kept at bay.
54 CLOSING REMARKS This strategy has three basic requirements: i. a strengthening of the resources of multilateral institutions to allow them to act with a scale commensurate to the tasks at hand ii. an appropriate division of labor between the IMF and MDBs: - Setting targets for a consistent macroeconomic framework should be primarily the role of the IMF - MDBs should work on the design of optimal expenditure composition policies or expenditure increasing policies when feasible that maximize the impact on long-term development and poverty alleviation iii. a careful country-by-country analysis that determines the optimal amount of liquidity support cum fiscally sustainable combinations of expenditure policies
