Is there a way to turnaround the economy?

August 2021

Inflation, the exchange rate, and economic activity are moving in election mode. The government is using all its firepower to keep the main economic variables under control.  Inflation, which had reached 4.8% in March is now hovering at around 3%, the official exchange rate continues to crawl at only 1.2% per month, much lower than inflation, while economic activity is slowly picking up pace as evidenced from the recent published figures. So far so good, but the flipside of these outcomes is the build-up of imbalances that will be costly to unwind.
