Abstract

Este artículo se enfoca en el pronóstico condicionado de la cuenta corriente de Colombia a partir de la identificación de sus principales determinantes macroeconómicos. Para ello, se revisan los factores que, según la literatura, explican la dinámica de la cuenta corriente y se agrupan en categorías que permiten su uso sistemático en modelos de pronóstico. La metodología combina diferentes enfoques econométricos que generan múltiples especificaciones y selecciona aquellas con mejor desempeño y coherencia con los canales teóricos. La evaluación de los pronósticos muestra un buen desempeño de la estrategia presentada en esta investigación frente a las encuestas de analistas del mercado, ofreciendo así una herramienta complementaria para el análisis del balance externo. *** ABSTRACT: This article focuses on the conditional forecasting of Colombia's current account by identifying its main macroeconomic determinants. To this end, it reviews the factors that, according to the literature, explain current account dynamics and groups them into categories that allow for their systematic use in forecasting models. The methodology combines different econometric approaches to generate multiple specifications and selects those with the best performance and strongest consistency with the theoretical channels. The forecast evaluation shows that the strategy presented in this study performs well relative to market analysts' surveys, thereby offering a complementary tool for external balance analysis.
