Abstract

América Latina se ha caracterizado históricamente por el sesgo procíclico de su política fiscal en su conjunto y también del gasto público y el gasto social, con excepciones puntuales. Este sesgo procíclico ha sido más marcado en las fases recesivas del ciclo económico, lo que representa un llamado de atención en el contexto actual de menor dinamismo del crecimiento económico mundial y regional. Pese al progresivo esfuerzo, principalmente desde mediados de la década pasada, por proteger el gasto social frente al ciclo económico, es importante que los países potencien el sesgo contracíclico de su política fiscal. Para ello se debe reforzar la institucionalidad fiscal (mediante marcos fiscales plurianuales, planificación y presupuestación con enfoque de resultados) e incorporar los indicadores cíclicamente ajustados en la gestión pública. Por otro lado, se hace imperiosa la necesidad de proteger, bajo la forma de políticas y programas prioritarios, el núcleo duro del gasto social.
