Abstract

En el año 2000, como tantas veces en los últimos 5 años, se volverá a plantear la necesidad de modificar la legislación de topes de deuda, la cual ha demostrado con su obsolescencia su falta de adecuación a las necesidades del país. Este trabajo intenta aportar elementos en la discusión acerca de cuales serían las reglas fiscales más apropiadas para el caso uruguayo. De la comparación de cuatro reglas fiscales (tope sobre deuda con ajuste en base a producto potencial, tope de deuda con ajuste en base al crecimiento promedio del producto en el último ciclo económico, tope de déficit, y tope sobre el gasto) surge que un tope sobre el déficit ajustado por el ciclo, al tiempo que garantiza la estabilidad global de la ecuación presupuestal uruguaya, provee herramientas para atemperar el ciclo económico, lo que lo convierte en el más adecuado a la realidad nacional de las reglas consideradas.
