The 12 Benefits of a Deflationary Crisis


Economy & Markets

The 12 Benefits of a Deflationary Crisis

Dear Subscriber,
When you've eaten bad sushi, what's better for you:
  1. Do everything you can to keep the poison in your system indefinitely?

  2. Let nature take its course?
Yeah. It's a no brainer. Unpleasant, but necessary.
Why then can economists, the Fed, and the government not see that their efforts to hold back this natural period of deflation we're moving through right now are only damaging our longer-term growth prospects?
Austerity and this economic winter season have long-term payoffs. Twelve in fact…

The World's "Safest" Investment is About to CRASH

The one investment you may hold dear to your heart… the one investment that helps you sleep better at night, that you rely on for safety, security, and maybe even profits in a world gone mad… is about to get slaughtered.

When it happens, trillions in wealth will be wiped out virtually overnight!

To find out exactly what this investment is, click here.

And here they are:
Benefit #1: Costs of living come down. Houses become affordable again. Interest rates come down, making loans cheaper. Health care and education costs return to acceptable levels again. All of this leads to a higher standard of living for the next generation.
Benefit #2: Business costs move lower. Commercial real estate costs fall, thus lowering the costs for businesses. Educational, health care, and governmental entities, which are real-estate intensive, also enjoy lowered costs.
Benefit #3: Massive amounts of private debt is restructured. I'm talking about $42 trillion being restructured to somewhere near pre-bubble levels, at $20 trillion. Such a restructuring would lower principal and interest-rate costs by as much as $1.5 trillion a year for decades. That is the ultimate stimulus plan, which benefits the private sector directly.
Benefit #4: The toughest survive. The survival-of-the-fittest struggle in businesses shifts market share to the strongest, giving them greater scale and lower costs that they can pass on to consumers. This is one of the best ways to raise our standard of living.
Benefit #5: Long-term entitlements are restructured. The reality is, we live longer today than we did decades ago. As a result, we'll stay in the workforce longer. We'll have no choice. How we plan for retirement adapts to consumers who will earn, save and spend more over their lifetimes. The peak in spending will still occur among those in their late forties, as their kids leave the nest, but the slowdown that follows won't be as extreme and the next boom will be stronger.
Benefit #6: Commodity prices fall. From food to energy to materials like copper, lower prices help to lower the cost of living, especially in emerging countries that consume more commodities. Commodity exporters hurt at first, but an even greater commodity boom will follow (from around 2023 to 2038).
Benefit #7: Dictatorships in emerging countries will fall. This will put such countries on an economic path toward democracy and economic development. They'll see more transparency and there will be a second democratic and network revolution in business in developed countries.
Benefit #8: Developed countries will become more eco-conscious. They'll realize, as their demographic trends continue to slow, that they will most benefit from investing in infrastructure and cleaner energies in emerging countries, which will accelerate their development and lower global pollution… a win-win situation.
Benefit #9: Restraints on global trade and immigration diminish. Natural restrictions on trade and immigration early in the crisis typically makes the global downturn worse, but ultimately it will cause more nations to realize that free global trade and immigration are for the best. Thus, globalization accelerates and specialization of labor and trade expand in the economic spring season that follows this deflationary crisis.
Benefit #10: Developed countries trend into higher-value, customized products and services. They realize they can't compete in commodities and low-cost labor industries, so they move more rapidly into customized goods and services through network organizations that operate from the bottom up. This trend creates a new, mass affluence in the developed world that passes down into the emerging world over time.
Benefit #11: Income inequality decreases. During the fall bubble boom, which ended around 2007, most of the benefits went to the top 1% of income earners who were the innovators and financiers. During this deflationary crisis, the 1% loses wealth and income on a relative basis as their innovations move mainstream and benefit the everyday worker. The middle class is restored to a higher level, with greater gains in income and wealth.
Benefit #12: New technology becomes a forceful driver. Finally, long-term innovations in technology emerge out of the economic winter season. I'm talking about things like nanotechnologies that can make something out of nothing, robotics that take over everyday functions, 3D printing that makes products right in your home or office, and biotechnologies that replace and regrow organs or create cleaner, more affordable energies.
All in all, while allowing nature to take its course is painful, unpleasant, and often times terrifying, it simply must happen so we can move forward… so we can enter the next boom period and flourish.
Now, if only those in power would wake up to that fact and stop acting like idiots!

renuncia al fmi (tomado de Rouillon)

Departamento Europa


Washington DC

Al Dr. Shaalan, Decano del Comité Ejecutivo del FMI,

Me dirijo hoy por última vez al Comité Ejecutivo porque abandono el FMI.

En primer lugar quiero expresar formalmente mi más profundo agradecimiento a las autoridades de Suecia, Israel y Dinamarca, con las que he trabajado en el último período, así como con todas con las que he trabajado con anterioridad, por su extraordinaría generosidad conmigo.

Asimismo, quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para explicar porque me voy.

Después de veinte años de servicio, me avergüenza toda relación con el FMI.

No solo por su incompetencia ante la crisis global, expuesta solo parcialmente por el informe de la OIA, así como por el informe TSR en relación con el seguimiento previo a la crisis de la zona euro. Sino sobretodo porque los problemas sustanciales de estas crisis, como los de otras, fueron identificados mucho antes de que se produjeran, pero fueron negados en el FMI. Dados los largos períodos de gestación y la lentitud en el proceso de toma de decisiones internacionales para hacer frente a estos desafíos globales, era esencial advertir a tiempo y de manera sistemática y continuada sobre estos peligros. En este sentido, el fracaso del FMI a la hora de hacerlo supone un fracaso de primer orden, incluso si esas advertencias no hubieran sido tenidas en cuenta. Las consecuencias implícitas suponen sufrimientos para muchos (y lo peor aún esta por venir) incluyendo Grecia, que la segunda divisa de reserva global esté al borde del precipicio, y que durante los últimos dos años el FMI haya fracasado a la hora de seguir y jugado un papel meramente reactivo en los esfuerzos desesperados para salvar al euro en última instancia.

Es más, los factores probables que han causado estos fallos en la tarea de vigilancia del FMI (rechazo al riesgo analítico, prioridades bilaterales y prejuicios europeos) se están reforzando a pesar de las iniciativas para corregirlos. Ello es especialmente evidente por lo que se refiere al nombramiento de los Directores Gerentes, que durante la última década han sido todos desastrosos a todas luces. Ello afecta incluso a la actual Directora Gerente, porque ni el hecho de ser mujer, ni su integridad ni su impulso dirigente pueden compensar la ilegitimidad esencial del proceso de selección. En una institución jerárquica como esta, las consecuencias implícitas de estas designaciones se transmiten en cadena a otros puestos administrativos vía nombramientos, contratos por tiempo definido y planificación de la renovación del personal de dirección, hasta contaminar a la organización en su conjunto, a pesar de todos los esfuerzos para evitarlo. La opción del Comité Ejecutivo es un FMI tullido, limitado en su capacidad de acción por las mismas causas estructurales que han provocado los fallos de vigilancia descritos. Ojala hubiera entendido hace veinte años que así era.

Hay mucha gente buena y sabia en esta institución. Pero el abajo firmante se marcha para siempre. Quizás no quieran perder al resto.

Sinceramente,

Peter Doyle

Fwd: Macroperu La Recesión se extiende a Asia.

China prepares vast stimulus as slump threatens Asia

China has ditched its reform strategy and prepared a vast stimulus package as the country's soft-landing turns uncomfortably hard, with recession warnings flashing across East Asia.


Taiwan and Singapore's economies both contracted in the second quarter. 
7:53PM BST 31 Jul 2012
The bellwether economies of Taiwan and Singapore both contracted in the second quarter. Korea's industrial output fell in June, while Japan's manufacturing PMI index fell in July to the lowest since the Fukushima disaster, with the export gauge crashing to recession levels.
"Factory output, new orders and exports all decreased at the fastest rates since April 2011. These are worrying developments given the weakness of global demand," said Markit's Alex Hamilton.
While China has ostensibly held up much better, electricity use has been falling in recent months. "Unless the Chinese steel and aluminium industries have discovered how to make do without electricity, it would appear that their growth has virtually ground to a halt," said Berkeley professor Barry Eichengreen.
China's president, Hu Jintao, has told officials to brace for economic shocks from abroad, calling for "fiscal and monetary support and efforts to expand domestic demand".
The city of Changsha has seized the moment, unveiling plans to spend $130bn (£82bn) on roads, satellite towns, and an industrial park – almost 150pc of its GDP.
Guizhou trumped this today, touting an eye-watering investment package of $470bn on transport, energy, infrastructure and eco-tourism over 10 years. It is a staggering sum for a sleepy province with just 35m people.
Nomura said the regions are in a prestige race against each other to claim the highest growth rate, with regulators eagerly switching on the credit spigot once again. The Chinese railways have chipped in with plans to crank up spending by 40pc in the second half of the year.
It is unclear how such projects can be financed. Fitch Ratings said China has already reached the point of diminishing returns from debt-fuelled growth. The economic return on each extra yuan of credit has collapsed from 0.75pc to under 0.4pc over the last five years.
Prof Eichengreen said China's authorities have abandoned efforts to wean the country off mega-projects, with tell-tale "ghost towns" and "bullet trains running off rails". "The restructuring agenda is now on hold," he said.
Full-throttle stimulus may keep uber-growth alive for a while but only at the cost of an ever-more deformed economy, ever more reliant on exports. China's leaders know the risks. The last credit spree in 2008-10 pushed investment to 49pc of GDP – unprecedented in world history – and is now deemed a policy error by Beijing.
Premier Wen Jiabao has warned that the economy is "unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable", but reformers face a tug-of-war with regional party bosses who rely on perma-boom to keep the lid on social protests.
The Politburo has clearly decided to protect jobs whatever the other risks, steering the yuan down 1.3pc against the dollar this year to protect the wafer-thin margins of exporters.
Nomura said Beijing is preparing a 17pc VAT rebate on exports by Chinese steelmakers to divert excess output abroad, exporting China's "over-capacity crisis" to the rest of the world.
Albert Edwards, for Societe Generale, said this echoes the Asian crisis in the late 1990s when the region flooded the West with goods, transmitting a deflationary impulse through the global system. This time the Asian bloc is a bigger animal, and the West is more fragile.
"The harder the landing in China, the more goods they are going to dump on us. It is political dynamite in the run-up to a US election," he said. The US has already imposed anti-dumping penalties on Chinese solar companies accused of selling below cost price.
China's policy shift is bitter-sweet for the West. While new stimulus will help lift the whole world, the mercantilist measures slipped into the mix will add to global woes. Analysts are watching very closely to see which of the two is bigger.

UK GDP slump: Osborne's blundering incompetence made the economy sicker

Despite rain, jubilee and Olympic Games hopes, the 0.7% drop leaves the chancellor's deficit reduction strategy in tatters
     
George Osborne
The 0.7% second-quarter fall brings a calamitous verdict on George Osborne's policy, with the UK economy now smaller than it was in 2010, and double-dip recession longer than in the 1970s. Photograph: Toby Melville/PA
Yes, it was raining. Yes, we had an extra day off to celebrate the Queen's 60 years on the throne. Even so, news that the economy contracted by 0.7% in the second quarter of 2012 came as a real shock.
The City had been braced for bad news, but not this bad. Analysts had expected a 0.2% drop in output, and were taken aback by evidence that Britain's double-dip recession has not only extended into a third quarter but is deepening as well. Bad was not really the right word to describe the figures. Catastrophic was better.
George Osborne will no doubt take comfort from the fact that growth is expected to bounce back in the third quarter as the lost production from the jubilee bank holiday is made up, and tourists flock to London from the Olympics. This, though, is clutching at straws.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that all three sectors of the economy are showing signs of weakness. Construction, where government cutbacks in infrastructure spending are really starting to bite, showed the biggest fall, but manufacturing also registered a hefty decline and there was a small drop in the service sector, which makes up 75% of the economy.
As a result, the economy is now 0.8% smaller than it was in the second quarter of 2011 and the double-dip recession is now longer than that which followed the oil shock of the 1970s, when UK inflation hit a peacetime record of 26%. Output has declined in five of the past seven quarters and has been going backwards since the autumn of 2010.
For the chancellor, these figures are calamitous. The government's deficit reduction strategy, which relies on the economy growing at 2 to 3% a year, lies in tatters. The credit rating agencies were already raising an eyebrow at Britain's poor growth performance, and the risk of a downgrade now looms large. Britain's status as a safe haven as the euro self-destructs is a bit of a joke when the economy is going backwards at its current rate.
The one glimmer of hope for the government is that inflation is now coming down at a fair lick, which means that consumer incomes will stretch a bit further in the months ahead. That should provide a modest boost to spending. This, though, could easily be cancelled out by the impact of Europe's sovereign debt crisis on exporters and on UK banks.
Brendan Barber, the general secretary of the TUC, made the telling point that the economy is now smaller than it was when the coalition came to power in 2010. That is a quite appalling performance, especially in the context of 0.5% bank rate, £375bn of electronic money creation and £500bn-plus of public borrowing since the recession began.
The bottom line is that the government failed to recognise just how sick the economy was when it took office in 2010. Its blundering incompetence has made it sicker.

What can the Yakuza explain about Japanese politics anyway?

What can the Yakuza explain about Japanese politics anyway?

August 7th, 2010
Author: Tobias Harris, MIT
Having read and enjoyed Jacob Adelstein's Tokyo Vice, it was with considerable interest that I read his article, `The Last Yakuza` in the World Policy Journal.
A Yakuza vehicle sighted driving through Tokyo
Like Corey Wallace, I have no particular expertise with which to assess the role played by the Yakuza in Japanese society. But also like him, I am skeptical about what political outcomes we can actually attribute to organised crime.

In brief, Adelstein argues that after decades of deep ties to the LDP — which organizations didn't have deep ties to the LDP when it was Japan's hegemonic ruling party? — leading Yakuza organisations have shifted their allegiances to the DPJ as it took control of the upper house in 2007 and then the lower house and with it the cabinet in 2009.
The main consequence of this shift, Adelstein suggests, is that the Hatoyama cabinet included Kamei Shizuka, head of the People's New Party, who is known to have links to organised crime. Without questioning those links, I think there is a far simpler explanation for Kamei's presence in the Hatoyama government, an explanation that does not require any reference to the Yakuza. Wanting to streamline decision making in the new coalition government, the DPJ included both Kamei and his SDPJ counterpart Fukushima Mizuho in the cabinet and created a special cabinet committee to coordinate policy among the ruling parties. Kamei, I think, was there so as to concentrate coalition negotiations within the government. The ease with which Kan Naoto cut Kamei loose once he challenged the new prime minister suggests that repaying the Yakuza was low on the DPJ's list of priorities when it came to Kamei.
But this case raises the larger question asked in the title of this post: what does the Yakuza explain anyway? What political outcome over the past half-century or so of Japanese politics is different because of the influence of the Yakuza in Japanese politics?
The most obvious answer is that the pervasive influence of the Yakuza explains the impunity with which gangsters have been able to act since the end of the war (which makes the 1992 anti-organised crime law mentioned by Adelstein a puzzle worth explaining).
But what about bigger questions? The durability of LDP rule? The rise and fall of prime ministers? Foreign policy and relations with the U.S.? What is different because of the Yakuza's power? What can the Yakuza explain that other theories cannot? I suspect not much. It's possible that gangsters may have influenced the outcome of LDP leadership elections during the former ruling party's heyday, given the shady pasts of some leading LDP politicians and the wholly opaque manner in which the LDP selected its leaders for much of its history. If it were possible to identify prime ministers who came to power only because of Yakuza support, it would perhaps be possible to identify indirect consequences of Yakuza influence, but as Adelstein's own career shows, becoming a Yakuza expert requires time, energy, and no small risk to one's person — all for exploring what may be nothing more than an auxiliary explanation.
That's not to say that the Yakuza are of no interest to political scientists who study Japan. One question worth addressing is why the Yakuza are so pervasive in the first place, at which point attention naturally turns to Italy, that other Axis power occupied by and then allied with the United States (which failed to purge and in fact developed links with far-right elements) and governed by a hegemonic conservative party for the duration of the cold war. Additionally, it may be fruitful to study the Yakuza in comparison with other interest groups that had long supported the LDP only to watch their fortunes wane during the lost decade(s). After all, Yakuza groups are interest groups, of a sort: interested in the regulation of organised crime. Like other interest groups, they had to adjust their political strategies in response to uncertain political and economic environments.
As such, while the Yakuza are an unlikely explanation for major political outcomes in Japan, they are a part of the landscape and observers should be cognisant of their role. For that we are lucky that Adelstein is working so hard to expose the inner workings of Japanese organised crime.

Bernanke sobre la deflación USA


Ben Bernanke prepara nuevo vuelo en helicóptero para evitar la deflación

 Marco Antonio Moreno 27 de agosto de 2010
caidaconsumo


Aunque se nos hizo creer que la inflación era el mayor de todos los males, el verdadero peligro está en la deflación, tema al cual hemos dedicado varios artículos. Pues bien, para evitar la ola deflacionaria que viene, la Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos prepara una nueva batería de recursos y estímulos que buscan impedir a toda costa el hundimiento total de la economía de ese país.


Uno de los datos más reveladores lo da la fuerte caída en el consumo de Estados Unidos (ver gráfica), una caída histórica y acorde a la caída general de las bolsas en los últimos meses, incapaces de repuntar. Gran parte de esto es producto del masivo desempleo que, en términos reales supera el 16,5% (aunque el oficial está en el 9,5%). La nueva operación de rescate masivo que programa Ben Bernanke, no es otra cosa que volver a "tirar la plata en helicópeto", tal como lo hizo hace dos años tras el colapso de Lehman Brothers, y cuyos objetivos los describimos en Rescatando al capitalismo en helicóptero. La imprenta y el helicóptero son las dos armas estratégicas con las que los gestores del actual modelo económico-monetarista piensan superar la crisis. ¿Será posible?

A medida que la recuperación económica muestra signos de pulverización caótica, todos las medidas de la Reserva Federal han demostrado ser inútiles porque no atacan el problema de fondo: la creación de empleo. Hasta Paul Krugman se ha quejado hoy de esta falencia que hemos señalado en varios artículos como en El problema no es la deuda sino el desempleo. Sin creación de empleo no hay consumo, y sin consumo ni siquiera se pueden pagar los intereses de la deuda.

En estos dos años, la Fed ha comprado casi dos billones de dólares (el 14% del PIB) entre hipotecas basura y bonos del Tesoro. Pero el dinero no ha fluido hacia la economía real y sólo ha permitido a los bancos limpiar sus deprimidos balances. La llamada flexiblización cuantitativa ha tenido además un impacto negativo en la distribución de la riqueza. El Coeficiente de Gini para los Estados Unidos ha aumentado del 0,40 al 0,45, demostrando la ampliación de la brecha entre ricos y pobres, lo que constituye un fenómeno indeseable para una economía avanzada.

Esta vez, la fijación para los exégetas del modelo económico es frenar la caída de los precios, tal como lucharon contra su elevación. El problema es que los costos de controlar la inflación resultaron excesivos y fueron los que desataron el problema del desempleo masivo. Emplear la misma medicina para aliviar el problema no solo es contraproducente sino que no tiene sentido en la dinámica actual de la globalización. Porque más que aplicar medidas monetaristas lo que se requiere es una política global para enfrentar el futuro que viene con un énfasis en las energías sustentables. Si se adoptara una sola estrategia en esta dirección, el empleo comenzaría a fluir y se aliviaría uno de los mayores dramas actuales. Pero esto no figura en el helicóptero de Bernanke.

    double dip: Las que primero cayeron

    22 Cities in Danger of a Double-Dip Recession

    by Hibah Yousuf, Staff Reporter

    Saturday, August 21, 2010

    (Courtesy of Moody's Economy.com)

    The chance of a national double-dip recession is hotly debated amid an increasing number of signs that the economic recovery is losing pace, but the risk is particularly troublesome on a local level.A new report from Moody's Economy.com singled out 22 cities that are at risk of slipping back into a recession in as early as three months. To come to this conclusion, the economists considered dwindling progress in employment, housing starts, home prices and industrial production. (See the map above for the full list.)The at-risk cities are spread across the country, though more than half of the cities are in the South, and five are concentrated in the Midwest."With chances of a national double-dip recession now estimated at about one in four, several metro areas will probably experience their own downturns in the first half of 2011," said economist Andrew Gledhill, author of the report.Private sector hiring has been tapering off in recent months compared to the start of the year, triggering Moody's to boost its forecast for a national double-dip from a 20% chance to 25% chance.

    What's a double dip? No one really knows.

    In the 22 identified metro areas, Gledhill said private sector hiring is particularly sluggish, increasing the chances of a slowdown.Without a substantial pick-up in hiring, Gledhill said the number of cities in danger of a double-dip recession could grow, possibly reaching the triple-digits."There was a time when all 384 metro areas were in a recession. We probably won't get to that point again, but given the growing risk of another national recession, we're on the lookout for more metro areas that will be weakening substantially on several levels over the next six months to a year," Gledhill said.He added that a handful of metro areas, particularly those that are industrial economies, are also suffering from a recent falloff in manufacturing.

    Ajuste a la Inglesa


    Las medidas buscan reducir el déficit, que ascendería a US$ 215 mil millones en 2015:
    Inglaterra anuncia segundo plan de austeridad con impuesto a la banca

    El gobierno inglés también elevará el IVA y el impuesto a la ganancia de capitales, pero mermará el gravamen a las empresas. A esto se suma un congelamiento en los beneficios sociales.

    Gabriela Villalobos S.

    Hace sólo algunas semanas el antiguo gobierno inglés, encabezado por Gordon Brown, anunció un plan de austeridad que buscaba ahorrar US$ 107 mil millones hasta 2015.
    Pero ayer, la nueva administración -liderada por el conservador David Cameron- dio a conocer medidas adicionales para ahorrar US$ 60 mil millones más en ese período.
    Así, el plan de austeridad en su conjunto se convierte en el más severo de los últimos 25 años y reducir el déficit de este país que podría alcanzar los US$ 215 mil millones en 2015.
    "(La prioridad) ha sido asegurarnos que las medidas son justas (...), así los más ricos pagarán más que los pobres", dijo el ministro de Hacienda inglés, George Osborne. En su presentación redujo sus estimaciones de crecimiento para este año de 1,3% a 1,2% y para 2011, de 2,6% a 2,3%.
    Una de las medidas más polémicas del plan es un impuesto al sector bancario, que busca recaudar US$ 3 mil millones anuales. "Esta fue una crisis que partió en el sector bancario, y el fracaso de las financieras ha significado un costo tremendo para el resto de la sociedad", argumentó Osborne, quien no entregó detalles acerca de esta medida.
    Además, se congelarán los salarios de los empleados públicos y los subsidios por hijo, y se reducirá el presupuesto en algunas reparticiones del gobierno. También habrá ajustes tributarios: el IVA se elevará de 17,5% a 20%, pero el impuesto a la ganancia de las empresas se reducirá en un punto porcentual en los próximos cuatro años, hasta llegar al 24%. Al contrario, se elevará el impuesto a la ganancia de capital de 18% a 28%, a los contribuyentes con mayores ingresos.
    Según aseguraron en el mercado local, la medida no provocará una salida de grandes flujos de capital desde Inglaterra. "No es tan fácil traspasar capital de un lado a otro. Si lo sacas de ahí, no lo vas a dejar en caja. Y el alza no amerita una decisión de sacar los dineros", comentó Juan Pablo Morales, de WAC Research.
    "Los inversionistas están buscando mercados con una situación fiscal más estable, y este plan es una señal de eso", agregó Sebastián Cerda, de CorpResearch.

    OBJETIVO
    El impuesto a los bancos ingleses recaudaría US$ 3 mil millones anuales.
    Bolsas sufren pérdidas
    Los planes de austeridad fiscal anunciados ayer en Inglaterra y Japón (que también confirmó alzas de impuestos) aumentaron el temor de que una restricción del gasto público desacelere a la economía global.
    El Dow Jones cayó 1,43%, su mayor baja en tres semanas, mientras que en Europa el Ibex retrocedió 0,55%. En Londres, en tanto, el FTSE 100 perdió 0,98%.
    Chile tampoco se salvó: el IPSA retrocedió 0,95%, pero en reacción a la noticia del cambio monetario en China, pues se prevé que la apreciación del yuan encarezca los costos para el retail local.
    El dólar se fortaleció a nivel global. En Chile subió $1,80, a $532,50.
    BNP Paribas Investment Partners: la crisis del euro ha producido oportunidades atractivas en el mercado
    Hace 18 meses, BNP Paribas hizo su ingreso oficial al país a través de una alianza con BancoEstado. El mayor banco francés (en cuanto a activos) compró a fines de 2008 el 49% de BancoEstado AGF. Esto fue lo que trajo de visita de Philippe Marchessaux, CEO de BNP Paribas Investment Partners, quien en conversación con "El Mercurio" aseguró que el mercado ofrece hoy atractivas oportunidades de inversión.
    -¿Están explorando nuevos negocios en Chile?
    "Primero queremos desarrollar nuestra asociación con BancoEstado. Hay mucho espacio para desarrollar el negocio. Estamos desarrollando nuevos productos, aprovechando la experiencia de BancoEstado y de BNP Paribas. En ese contexto, vamos a lanzar un nuevo producto, que se llamará fondo bicentenario".
    -Con la crisis del euro, ¿han cambiado las preferencias de los inversionistas chilenos de Fondos Mutuos?
    "No veo un cambio grande en esta etapa, porque los clientes chilenos invierten en general en Money Markets, que son activos de bajo riesgo. Por lo tanto, las consecuencias de la crisis del euro están lejos para ellos".
    -¿Es diferente en Europa?
    "No, porque en Europa entre los clientes no se veía un gran apetito por riesgo, porque acababan de experimentar otra crisis. Sin embargo, es justamente en las crisis donde se generan buenas oportunidades para entrar al mercado. Pero hay temores por la alta incertidumbre y la volatilidad, por eso están esperando".
    -¿Es mejor esperar a que baje la volatilidad?
    "Lo que siempre recomiendo es no poner todo en activos riesgosos en este momento. Estamos en una crisis, los mercados están bajos, así que hay que invertir. Depende del inversionista, pero si eres muy adverso al riesgo, hay que hacerlo. Lo que recomiendo es si el inversionista quiere tener una cierta exposición al mercado accionario, es ir de a poco. Al principio sólo invertir un tercio de lo que se está dispuesto a apostar en accionarios, y meses después analizar la situación e invertir otro tercio, y así".
    "Mi estilo antes era comprar cuando nadie quería entrar al mercado. El riesgo es exponerse en un momento muy temprano, cuando todavía hay espacio de mayores pérdidas en los mercados".
    -¿Dónde ve oportunidades?
    "Los mercados emergentes se ven atractivos en este minuto. La Zona Euro está muy dañada actualmente, por eso la subponderamos. Al contrario, estamos sobreponderando Estados Unidos, donde la recuperación es más fuerte, y Asia Pacífico y América Latina. Recomendamos renta fija, en particular la deuda corporativa high yield (de alto rendimiento), porque la deuda soberana enfrenta desafíos en Europa. Por eso, en este minuto, la deuda corporativa parece menos riesgosa".
    "En Asia Pacífico estamos invirtiendo en Corea, y en América Latina nos gustan Brasil y Chile".
    -¿La elevada deuda de la
    Zona Euro será el tema principal para los mercados en los próximos años?
    "Será uno de los temas centrales. Los mercados están sensibles y sobreexageran, pero enviaron un mensaje cierto y potente a los gobiernos de la región, pidiéndoles que controlaran su deuda. Pero no creo que el Euro explote".

    disasi

    Lamentablemente este video no está en castellano. Es una explicación de las diferencias entre las propuestas de política económica de Hayek y las de Keynes a propósito de la crisis financiera internacional. Los autores simularon un debate... con un rap.
