Abstract

En un escenario como el actual, de continua apreciación nominal del peso colombiano frente al dólar, se hace relevante insistir en el uso de un concepto más amplio, como es la tasa de cambio real (TCR), para examinar las causas de la apreciación y evaluar la competitividad del país. Son muchos los enfoques a partir de los cuales se aborda el concepto de esta variable y por ello nació la idea del Observatorio de TCR. Su propósito esencial es centralizar y proveer las herramientas necesarias para su análisis respondiendo a las inquietudes de los agentes involucrados y constituyéndose en un elemento para la toma de decisiones de política económica. En este documento se proponen medidas alternativas de fácil seguimiento para evaluar periódicamente la evolución de la TCR y se analiza de forma preliminar qué tan desalineadas están sus distintas variantes respecto de su nivel de largo plazo. Las medidas alternativas muestran tendencias similares a las mediciones tradicionales, aunque difieren en la magnitud e interpretación del efecto. En cuanto a los determinantes del TCR a nivel global las ganancias en productividad relativa derivan en una moneda más fuerte. La información disponible sugiere que la industria colombiana ha incrementado su productividad, en especial si se compara con Estados Unidos y que el nivel actual del tipo de cambio real es cercano a aquel que es consistente con el grado de desarrollo de la economía.
