Abstract

Como o único país de mercado emergente da América Latina que aderiu firmemente a uma taxa de câmbio fixa por mais de uma década, este artigo examina as compensações econômicas e políticas que a paridade peso-dólar acarretou. Em termos econômicos, o conselho da moeda promoveu claramente a estabilidade macroeconômica e a prudência fiscal. No entanto, a manutenção de um regime de moeda fixa no contexto de fluxos voláteis de capital também contribuiu para a constante valorização do peso ao longo do tempo. Essa tendência, juntamente com certos acordos políticos (lenta reforma do mercado de trabalho e transferências generosas do governo para as províncias) ocorridas no início do programa de reformas, dificultou bastante a produtividade e o dinamismo da economia argentina. A fraca posição competitiva do país foi exacerbada pela desvalorização brasileira de 1999, e a lição desde então tem sido o quão difícil é formar uma coalizão política para enfrentar as formidáveis tarefas microeconômicas agora em mãos. Classificação JEL: F31; F33.
