Another turbulent week has passed in Argentina. There are two months left until the general elections, and just two weeks until the Buenos Aires provincial elections. Until then, noise and volatility will likely remain the main characters. Politics is playing its game, but on the economic front the field has also been muddied.
Caos en la política monetaria. A esta altura no quedan dudas de que el esquema posterior al fin de las Lefis no está funcionando. Las idas y vueltas con los encajes, las licitaciones sorpresa y las intervenciones ad hoc en el mercado de pesos no hacen más que erosionar la credibilidad del programa y sumar volatilidad. Seguimos convencidos de que la mejor salida sería implementar un corredor de pases que devuelva estabilidad al mercado, pero el Gobierno insiste en soluciones alternativas que no terminan de resolver el problema. La volatilidad, por ahora, se mantiene.
Argentina is managing to bring inflation down, but only through a monetary squeeze whose sustainability is highly uncertain. Last week once again highlighted the erratic and opaque management of monetary policy. In theory, the Central Bank follows a quarterly target for monetary aggregates (transactional private M2). In practice, however, policy has been discretionary, with the sole aim of keeping both the exchange rate and inflation under control.
Un poco de pax cambiaria. Después de subir abruptamente la semana pasada, el tipo de cambio se estabilizó en un nuevo nivel cerca de los 1,340 pesos. Lo que preocupó no fue el nivel que alcanzó, sino la velocidad de la suba. De hecho, en buena parte de julio había escalado casi 9% de manera gradual, sin impacto relevante en precios ni en los bonos hard dollar. Desde nuestra perspectiva, este nuevo nivel luce más razonable para una economía como la argentina, y debería mantenerse calmado en el corto plazo.
Everyone says that after the elections, “structural reforms” will arrive. The government repeats it, the market expects it, and the IMF demands it. But if you ask what concrete measures are actually being considered, the answers are vague and generic. It seems there has been more progress on tax reform, some ideas on pension reform, and very little clarity regarding labor reform.
