Abstract

Ante el contagio de la crisis financiera internacional, la economia chilena experimento una intensa reduccion del precio del cobre y de los influjos de capitales. Consecuentemente, la demanda agregada y el empleo de trabajo y capital productivo se contrajeron hacia fines de 2008. En ese escenario, a diferencia de la reaccion frente al contagio de la crisis asiatica, la autoridad economica adopto un amplio conjunto de politicas publicas contra-ciclicas, caracterizadas principalmente por un aumento significativo, en 2008 y en 2009, del gasto fiscal, medidas pro-empleo y pro-credito. Ello implico un deficit fiscal responsablemente financiado con su fondo soberano. Hacia fines de 2009 la economia ya estaba en efectiva reactivacion. Concluida la reactivacion en 2012, con un crecimiento promedio del PIB de 3.9% entre este año y el peak anterior en 2007, subsisten los desafios de recuperar un crecimiento como el registrado en los noventa y acelerar el combate a la desigualdad que aun caracteriza a la sociedad nacional.
