Abstract

El Banco Central de Reserva del Perú opera bajo un esquema de metas explícitas de inflación. Esto implica el compromiso de situar el nivel de inflación en un promedio cercano a 2 por ciento a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo, la inflación total presenta alta volatilidad debido principalmente a que el componente de alimentos en la canasta del consumidor es relativamente alto en comparación a países más desarrollados, por lo que las variaciones de precios relativos de los alimentos afectan la inflación total de una manera más drástica. El propósito de este documento es caracterizar el proceso inflacionario reciente en varias dimensiones. Así, se descompone la dinámica de la inflación en márgenes intensivos y extensivos, se estudia además la relación entre la tasa de inflación y los momentos de corte transversal en las variaciones de precios, la volatilidad de la inflación, las expectativas inflacionarias, diversos indicadores de inflación, y por último se evalúa un grupo de medidas de inflación subyacente.
