Abstract

ResumenEl presente artículo establece que para sostener el nivel de deuda pública observado en el ano 2003 se debe generar un superávit primario del 0.31% cifra que es ampliamente superada por las expectativas (2.4%). Luego se realizan algunos ejercicios de simulación para determinar a diferentes horizontes temporales los superávit primarios requeridos permanentemente para pagar el actual nivel de deuda pública, específicamente para un horizonte temporal de 50 anos se requiere en promedio un superávit primario permanente de 2.51%. El artículo finaliza estableciendo la necesidad de reformas estructurales decisivas que alejen a la economía de grados de endeudamiento juzgados peligrosos.Abstract:In the present article it is sustained that to maintain the public debt at the level observed in 2003, a 0.31% primary surplus must be generated, which is smaller than the forecast for the present year (2.4%). After that, some simulation exercises are run to determine the primary surpluses required to pay the actual public debt level under different temporal horizons. Specifically for a 50 years horizon, it is requested a permanent primary surplus of 2.51%. The article ends establishing the necessity of decisive structural reforms that keep the economy away from dangerous indebtedness levels.
