Objetivo de pass-through cero. Tras el anuncio del nuevo esquema de bandas, el objetivo principal del Gobierno fue evitar un overshooting y minimizar el traslado a precios. Para presionar el tipo de cambio a la baja anunciaron la vuelta del carry trade para extranjeros (con 6 meses de permanencia, aunque pueden salir por CCL), dijeron que solo iban a comprar reservas en el piso de la banda, y presionaron al campo para que liquidara antes de que suban de nuevo las retenciones. También salieron con los tapones de punta contra empresas que mandaron listas con aumentos, arengando a no convalidar subas. Por ahora, el objetivo se viene cumpliendo: tras el salto inicial, el tipo de cambio retrocedió y muchas empresas dieron marcha atrás con los aumentos. En este contexto, esperamos que la inflación de abril se ubique más cerca del 3.7% registrado en marzo que del 5%, aunque hay arrastre de los últimos días de ese mes.
The first few days without capital controls were, without a doubt, a success for the government. The market reacted very positively to the announcements: far from testing the upper bound, the exchange rate settled closer to the lower band. The Merval index started off strong, later gave up some ground, but bonds remained firm and country risk dropped toward 700 basis points. The exchange rate spread collapsed.
Backed by a new USD 20 billion EFF agreement with the IMF, the Government has adopted a more flexible exchange rate regime, lifted several layers of FX controls, and introduced a more conventional monetary framework. We see these changes as very positive steps and a move toward greater economic rationality. Markets reacted clearly positively.
El ICF cayó 19 puntos en marzo y quedó en 52 unidades. Ya perdió 46 puntos en tres meses de 2025. Tanto las variables locales como internacionales empeoraron el mes pasado, con la incertidumbre por el acuerdo con el FMI y las políticas comerciales de Trump como problemas centrales. La medición no incluyó el crash financiero del 3 y 4 de abril, por lo que esperamos que el ICF mantenga la tendencia a la baja este mes.
