Abstract

Desde septiembre de 1992 está en vigencia en Ecuador un nuevo programa de estabilización. Aquí se examina la naturaleza de esta política económica, en una breve comparación con otras experiencias de estabilización en el país en los años ochenta, y sus logros hasta la fecha. Hasta ahora se ha logrado reducir la tasa de inflación a un 32% anual al finalizar 1993, luego de cinco años en que fue superior al 55% en promedio. Por lo tanto, se ha pasado de una situación de inflación crónica a otra de inflación moderada, que ha estado acompañada de una baja en la actividad económica, pese a la caída de las tasas de interés reales, y del uso del tipo de cambio como ancla nominal. A pesar de esto último, la balanza comercial no ha sufrido un gran deterioro, como cabía esperar. El estudio finaliza con un rápido examen de los obstáculos que habrán de vencerse hacia adelante, teniendo en cuenta la perspectiva de una nueva baja apreciable de la inflación en 1994, como la que han planteado las autoridades económicas.
