Quase metade dos países pôs em prática políticas anticíclicas: gastos nas épocas ruins e economia de recursos nas épocas boasOs observadores do mercado estimam que, neste ano, o crescimento médio da região voltará a ser positivoAs contas fiscais, no entanto, ficaram deterioradas depois de seis anos de desaceleração econômica WASHINGTON, 18 de abril de 2017 – Em um desdobramento positivo, hoje mais do que nunca, os países da América Latina e Caribe estão implementando políticas fiscais anticíclicas – gastando mais em épocas ruins e economizando nas épocas boas, de acordo com um novo relatório semianual do Banco Mundial sobre a região. O relatório "Apoiando-se contra o Vento: uma Perspectiva Histórica da Política Fiscal na América Latina e Caribe" argumenta que essa transformação é importante para uma região que, com frequência, lançou mão de gastos pró-cíclicos – aumentando o risco de superaquecer a economia em períodos de prosperidade e entrar em recessões mais profundas em períodos de baixa atividade econômica. De acordo com o Consensus Forecasts, o Produto Interno Bruto da região deverá crescer 1,5% este ano e 2,5% em 2018, pondo fim a seis anos de desaceleração econômica e à recessão dos últimos dois anos. Se essa previsão se concretizar, as recuperações esperadas no Brasil e na Argentina serão fundamentais para estimular o novo ciclo de crescimento na região. A previsão de crescimento para o México é de, aproximadamente, 1,4%; na América Central e Caribe, a previsão é de uma taxa de crescimento estável em cerca de 3,8%. No entanto, as contas fiscais de vários países sofreram com a desaceleração prolongada. Em 2016, 29 dos 32 países enfrentavam déficits fiscais, em grande parte decorrentes do aumento dos gastos. A média da dívida bruta na região é de 50% do PIB. Ainda assim – em uma importante ruptura com o passado – vários países agora se encontram em melhor posição para escapar dessa complexa situação fiscal, de acordo com o relatório. “Tradicionalmente, os países da América Latina e Caribe agem de forma pró-cíclica, seja por pressões políticas para gastar durante os períodos de prosperidade ou por falta de acesso a capital internacional durante os períodos de desaceleração”, afirma Carlos Végh, Economista-Chefe do Banco Mundial para a América Latina e Caribe. “O resultado é que, muitas vezes, esses países acabam presos na armadilha da pró-ciclicidade fiscal – com o aumento da dívida pública e dos déficits fiscais e rebaixamento da classificação de crédito – e ficam sem opções para reverter a situação.” Em resposta à crise financeira global de 2008, a parcela de países com políticas fiscais anticíclicas na região aumentou de 10 para 45%. Países como Chile, Colômbia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, México, Paraguai e Peru começaram a aumentar os gastos públicos e / ou baixar os impostos em uma tentativa de estimular a economia. Embora essas medidas tenham produzido déficits fiscais, elas fizeram parte de um esforço concertado para minimizar a desaceleração econômica. Por outro lado, afirma o relatório, os países que continuaram com políticas pró-cíclicas agora precisam consolidar ainda mais as suas contas fiscais para minimizar os riscos de rebaixamento da classificação de crédito e de encarecimento dos empréstimos. “Embora os países achem tentadora a ideia de gastar – em vez de poupar – no próximo ciclo de crescimento, os acontecimentos na política fiscal da última década nos trazem a esperança de que os países serão prudentes e optarão pelo caminho seguro,” afirma Végh. “Em um ambiente externo caracterizado por volatilidades e choques frequentes, esse comportamento prudente possibilitará aos países transformar a política fiscal em instrumentos para ajudar a atravessar a próxima crise e preservar os ganhos sociais.” — Para mais informações, por favor, visite: www.worldbank.org/lac Visite a nossa página no Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bancomundialbrasil Receba atualizações via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bancomundialbr Visite o nosso canal no YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/bancomundiallac

Près de la moitié des pays ont suivi des politiques contra-cycliques: dépenser durant les périodes difficiles et économiser dans les bons momentsLes observateurs du marché s’attendent à ce que la croissance moyenne de la région soit positive cette annéePourtant, les comptes budgétaires se sont détériorés après six ans de ralentissement économique WASHINGTON, le 18 avril 2017 – Selon un nouveau rapport semi-annuel de la Banque mondiale pour la région, on observe un développement positif, aujourd’hui plus que jamais, les pays d’Amérique latine et des Caraïbes poursuivent des politiques budgétaires contra-cycliques, dépensant davantage dans les moments difficiles et économisant dans les bons moments. «A contre-courant: la politique budgétaire en Amérique latine et les Caraïbes dans une perspective historique» soutient que la transformation est significative pour une région qui a souvent poursuivi des dépenses pro-cycliques – augmentant les risques de surchauffe économiques en périodes de boom et rendant les récessions plus profondes durant les périodes difficiles. Selon les prévisions du consensus, le produit intérieur brut dans la région devrait croître de 1,5 pour cent cette année et de 2,5 pour cent en 2018, mettant fin à six ans de ralentissement économique, y compris une récession au cours des deux dernières années. Si elles se concrétisent, les recouvrements attendus au Brésil et en Argentine alimenteront largement le retour à la croissance dans la région. La croissance du Mexique devrait s’élever à environ 1,4 pour cent, tandis que l’Amérique centrale et les Caraïbes maintiendront une croissance régulière d’environ 3,8 pour cent. Cependant, les comptes budgétaires de nombreux pays ont souffert en raison du ralentissement prolongé. En 2016, 29 des 32 pays étaient confrontés à des déficits budgétaires, principalement en raison des dépenses plus élevées. La dette brute médiane pour la région s’élève à 50 pour cent du PIB. Toutefois selon le rapport, de nombreux pays se trouvent maintenant dans une meilleure position pour échapper à cette situation financière difficile, en rupture avec le passé. "Les pays d’Amérique latine et des Caraïbes ont traditionnellement été pro-cycliques, soit en raison des pressions politiques pendant les bons moments, soit du manque d’accès au capital international pendant les mauvais moments", a déclaré Carlos Végh, économiste en chef de la Banque mondiale pour l’Amérique latine et le Caraïbes. "En conséquence, ils se sont souvent retrouvés pris au piège dans une pro-cyclicité fiscale, ce qui a entraîné une dette publique et des déficits budgétaires plus élevés, ainsi qu’une note de crédit plus faible qui leur a laissé peu d’options pour faire avancer les choses". En réponse à la crise financière mondiale de 2008, le nombre de pays ayant une politique budgétaire contra-cyclique est passé de 10 à 45 pour cent des économies de la région. Des pays comme le Chili, la Colombie, le Costa Rica, le Salvador, le Guatemala, le Mexique, le Paraguay et le Pérou ont commencé à augmenter les dépenses publiques et / ou à réduire les impôts dans le but de stimuler l’économie. Bien que de telles mesures produisent des déficits budgétaires, elles ont été le résultat d’un effort concerté visant à minimiser le ralentissement. D’autre part selon le rapport, les pays qui ont continué avec des politiques pro-cycliques doivent maintenant consolider davantage leurs comptes budgétaires afin de minimiser les risques de détérioration de leurs cotes de crédit et une augmentation des coûts d’emprunt. «Bien que les pays puissent encore être tenté de dépenser plutôt que d’économiser dans le prochain cycle de croissance, les événements dans la politique budgétaire de la dernière décennie nous donnent espoir que les pays vont jouer la carte de la prudence », a déclaré Végh. «Dans un environnement externe caractérisé par des chocs fréquents et une volatilité, une telle prudence leur permettra de transformer la politique budgétaire en instrument pour faire face au prochain ralentissement et préserver les gains sociaux».  

Casi la mitad de los países aplicaron políticas contracíclicas: gastando en los momentos difíciles y ahorrando en los buenosLos analistas de mercado esperan que el crecimiento promedio de la región se torne positivo este añoDe todas manera…

Nearly half of the countries followed counter-cyclical policies: spending in bad times and saving in good timesMarket watchers expect that the region’s average growth will turn positive this yearYet fiscal accounts have deteriorated after six years of economic slowdown WASHINGTON, April 18, 2017 – In a positive development, today more than ever before, Latin American and Caribbean countries are pursuing counter-cyclical fiscal policies – spending more in bad times and saving in good times, according to a new World Bank semiannual report for the region. "Leaning against the Wind: Fiscal Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean in a Historical Perspective" argues that the transformation is significant for a region that has often pursued pro-cyclical spending – increasing the risks of overheating economies during boom times and making recessions deeper during the bad times. According to the Consensus Forecasts, Gross Domestic Product in the region is expected to grow by 1.5 percent this year and 2.5 percent in 2018, putting an end to six years of an economic downturn, including recession over the past two years. If they materialize, recoveries expected in Brazil and Argentina will largely fuel the return to growth in the region. Mexico’s growth is expected to hover at around 1.4 percent, while Central America and the Caribbean will maintain steady growth of around 3.8 percent. However, the fiscal accounts of many countries have suffered due to the prolonged slowdown. As of 2016, 29 out of 32 countries were facing fiscal deficits, largely due to higher spending. The median gross debt for the region stands at 50 percent of GDP. Still – in a significant break with the past – many countries now find themselves in a better position to escape this difficult fiscal predicament, according to the report. “Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have traditionally been pro-cyclical, either because of political pressures to spend during good times or lack of access to international capital during bad times,” said Carlos Végh, World Bank Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean. “As a result, they often found themselves caught in a fiscal procyclicality trap, leading to higher public debt and fiscal deficits as well as lower credit ratings that left them few options to turn things around.” In response to the global financial crisis of 2008, the number of countries with a countercyclical fiscal policy increased from 10 to 45 percent of the region’s economies. Countries such as Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru begun to increase public spending and/or lower taxes in an attempt to stimulate the economy. While such measures produced fiscal deficits, they were the result of a concerted effort to minimize the downturn. On the other hand, countries that continued with pro-cyclical policies must now further consolidate their fiscal accounts to minimize the risks of a deterioration in their credit ratings and an increase in borrowing costs, the report argues. “While countries may still find it tempting to spend rather than save in the next boom cycle, the events of the last decade in fiscal policy give us hope that countries will play it safe instead and be prudent,” said Végh. “In an external environment characterized by frequent shocks and volatility, such prudence will allow them to turn fiscal policy into instruments to help cope with the next downturn and preserve social gains.” — For more information, please visit: www.worldbank.org/lac Visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Be updated via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BancoMundialLAC For our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/worldbank

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2017 – The World Bank Board of Directors approved US$100 million in additional financing for productive rural partnerships, which will benefit nearly 33,500 households. In this new phase, the Rural Partnerships II Project (PARII) seeks to improve incomes of more rural inhabitants and thus contribute to reducing poverty in Bolivia. With the additional financing, the project will reach nearly 28,000 new households in rural areas throughout the country through the establishment of approximately 768 productive partnerships. The financing will also be used to support 48 sub-projects of municipal, productive and service infrastructure, with more than 21,000 direct beneficiaries, or some 5,500 households. The PAR II will continue to finance small-scale farmers and their access to markets. Additionally, it will support the strengthening of climate change resilience in rural production systems. To this end, about 75 percent of the additional resources will be invested in irrigation and efficient water usage, as well as in technical assistance in these areas during the preparation and implementation of business plans. "We are supporting the climate-resilience efforts of the Bolivian government by incorporating this new approach in the project, which also responds to the global need to reduce vulnerability to climate change, especially in agriculture, on which food security depends. We believe that in the future, productivity will have improved, and consequently, the incomes of small-scale producers. Additionally, the capacity of this segment to respond to climate shocks will have been strengthened,” said Alberto Rodríguez, World Bank director for Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. During implementation of the PAR Project, which began in 2006, more than 1,300 rural partnerships were financed, generating investments of some US$98 million and benefitting nearly 68,000 people. The project impact evaluation demonstrated that it is inclusive and that it has considerable impact on poverty reduction because it significantly increases farmers’ incomes. “In keeping with the approach of this initiative, the project will continue to encourage rural youth and women to play a leading role, acknowledging their value as dynamic actors in the country’s development agenda,” said Nicola Pontara, World Bank representative in Bolivia. The US$ 100 million in additional World Bank financing covers 76.6 percent of the total cost of the project. Counterpart resources will cover the remainder: Beneficiaries will contribute 20.8 percent (US$27.2 million) while municipal governments will provide 2.6 percent (US$3.4 million). This financing is a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development with a maturity date of 21 years and a grace period of 3.5 years. — Learn more about the work of the World Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean: www.worldbank.org/lac   Visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Be updated via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BancoMundialLAC   For our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/BancoMundialLAC
