1 ETERNAL EBT, GROWTH AN SUSTAINABILIT Absrac Robro Frnkl * Th papr prsns a odl inndd o dfin and discuss h susainabili of rnal dbs in rgn arks. Th firs susainabili condiion is h isnc of a aiu in h dboupu raio. Wih so sipl bhavior hpohss i is shown ha susainabili dpnds on h iniial db-pors raio, h ra of growh of pors and h counr-risk priu. An ndognous counr-risk priu givs roo for ulipl quilibriu. Th odl allows h discussion of vulnrabili vis-à-vis financial shocks and h propnsi of h cono o jup o unsusainabl pahs. Two addiional susainabili condiions ar addd: a posiiv ra of growh and a iniu in h dosic absorpion-oupu raio. Th discussion of ulipl quilibriu, vulnrabili and h ponial insabili of susainabili is hn ndd o hs susainabili condiions. Inroducion In a prvious ssa Frnkl, 21 w analsd h siuaion of h Lain Arican counris in h con of financial globalizaion in h la 199s. This papr ss ou a or foral analical approach o his subjc. In paricular, w ain h dnaics of rnal db fro a balanc-of-pans prspciv, using h concp of susainabili. 1 Ernal db a b dscribd as susainabl whn hr ar no forsabl ajor difficulis in ing conracs in a il and propr annr. Obviousl, his dos no acuall guaran ha hos conracs will b. Susainabili is a judgn wih rspc o uncrain fuur vns, basd on prsn inforaion and probabl conjcurs. Th condiions of susainabili aind in his papr ar rasonabl a priori. Th counr s inrs ra, which is drind b h inrnaional ra and h counr risk priu, plas an iporan rol in our analsis. Th odl w s forh rflcs crain faurs of h rging ark conois, ha is o sa dvloping conois ha wr involvd in hr aspcs of h financial globalizaion procss: h opning of h local financial ark and is ingraion wih h inrnaional ark, h absorpion of n capial flows and h rsuling accuulaion of a significan sock of rnal obligaions. L us suppos ha h counris w ar aining hav issud a crain aoun of sovrign db dnoinad in * Snior Rsarchr, Cnro d Esudios d Esado Socidad CEES, Bunos Airs, Argnina and Profssor of h Univrsi of Bunos Airs. Th auhor prsss hanks o José Anonio Ocapo, Lanc Talor and Sbasián Kaz for hir cons on a prliinar vrsion. Marín Rapi assisd wih h odl siulaions. Alhough fw of hos rciss ar rflcd in h prsn vrsion, his collaboraion was iporan for h final rsul. 1 S Sionsn 1985 and Bhaduri 21.

Inforaion abou h prics of bonds is frl availabl and an local or forign agn can acquir sovrign bonds a ark prics. 1. Sgnd ingraion. Th ral inrs ra and h counr risk priu 2 Inrs ras displa significan diffrncs bwn dvlopd and rging conois, dspi h ingraion ha iss aong financial arks. Hr w will considr how inrs ras ar drind in an rging ark. W hav said ha h counr issud dollar-dnoinad sovrign bonds, which wr radd on h scondar arks. Th pric of hos bonds drins hir ild, which w will call i. ild is convnionall brokn down ino wo rs: i r* + k 1 whr r* is h ild on a Unid Sas sovrign bond wih h sa auri and idnical characrisics, and k is h counr risk priu. Firsl, i rprsns h opporuni cos of an forign invsn in h counr, o h n ha h ass in qusion, ral or financial, is subjc o counr risk. So, h cos of inrnaional crdi o local banks or o ohr priva agns will gnrall hav o b qual o or grar han i. To facilia a discussion on how h ral inrs ra is drind wihou losing gnrali, l us suppos ha h naional financial ss is pariall dollarizd. This ans ha asss and liabiliis dnoinad in dollars ar issud b h financial ss oghr wih asss and liabiliis in local currnc. Sinc local banks can acquir sovrign bonds ilding i, his ra is h opporuni cos of local bank lnding in dollars. Consqunl, i is h floor pric of dollar bank loans, vn if h crdi has no bn fundd in h inrnaional ark. Th inrs ra on dollar loans us b qual o or grar han i. L us assu ha i is qual o i. To drin h ra in local currnc w nd o ak ino accoun h pcd rnd of h chang ra: j i + E + π 2 π > whr j is h noinal ra of inrs in local currnc, E is h pcd ra of noinal dvaluaion and π rprsns h chang risk priu. 2 On sgnd ingraion, s Frnkl 21.

3 L p and p* b h ras of local and inrnaional inflaion, rspcivl. W can subrac p fro boh brs of 2 and add and subrac p* in h scond br: j p i p* + [E p + p*] + π 3 3 This givs an prssion in which j p is h ral inrs ra in local currnc and E p + p* is h pcd ra of ral dvaluaion. I is as o s ha h ral inrs ra in local currnc us b grar han or qual o i p*, cp in h cas of an pcd ral apprciaion rnd srong nough o offs h chang risk priu π. W will disrgard his cas, howvr. W will hrfor assu ha: j p i p* 4 For h sak of siplici, l us suppos ha p* which is quivaln o considring p as h diffrnc bwn local and inrnaional inflaion and ha 4 holds as an quali: r j p i r* + k 5 2. Ernal financing Th counr has rcivd capial inco ha gnras an aoun of rnal db. Th capial inflows rsul fro a bond issu wih a auri L, which ild an inrnaional inrs ra r* and whos capial us b rdd in full a auri. Th currn-accoun balanc CC is: CC M r * whr rprsns pors, M ipors and r* is h inrs accrud on rnal db. W will assu a zro variaion in rsrvs and w will suppos for h i bing and for h sak of h prsnaion ha h currn accoun is in dfici. Financing nds NF ar: NF CC + λ + M + r * + λ. 6 whr λ 1/ L is h porion of h db ha aurs in i. As h bonds ar issud a a ra undr par k, o obain NF aoun of financing a volu Z of nw db us b issud so ha: Z NF and hrfor r* L r* + k L

Th firs r rprsns h cos of financing h su of h inrs accrud on ising db plus rfinancing of capial auriis. If hr is a rad dfici <M, h scond r rprsns h cos of financing i. In boh rs h facor appars as a uliplir. Th highr h counr risk priu and consqunl h highr h inrs ra h counr us coi o paing in ordr o scur financing, h highr his facor. Noic ha quaion 9 is also valid in h cas of a rad surplus >M. In his cas h procds of h rad balanc ar usd o financ h inrs and auring capial of ising db, which is quivaln o supposing ha h rad balanc is usd o bu db bonds a ark prics. If h rad surplus is larg nough, h absolu valu of h scond r a b largr han h firs and h db conracs. I can hrfor b sn ha h currn-accoun dfici w assud abov for h purposs of h prsnaion is no ncssar, sinc quaion 9 is valid in ihr cas. If h risk priu is nil, quaion 9 is rducd o: d r * + M ha is, h variaion in db is h sa as h currn-accoun balanc wih h opposing sign. ivision of quaion 9 b givs h growh ra of h db:

5 5 d M ˆ 1 L b oupu and is ra of growh. Th ra of variaion of h db/oupu raio is: d M ˆ 11 which, uliplid and dividd b in h final r, can b prssd as: d M ˆ / 12 Th ra of variaion of h db/oupu raio in quaion 12 is prssd as a funcion of coonl sn acroconoic raios Growh ras of oupu and ipors W shall copl h odl b aking ndognous h growh ras of oupu and ipors. W will assu ha h ra of growh of pors is ognous. Th influnc of h counr risk priu on h ral cono is incorporad ino h odl b ans of h ral inrs ra. W will op for h sipls for, assuing ha h cono s growh ra is a funcion of h inrs ra: r + ρ r + ρ r * + ρ k, wih ρ < 13 whr ρ is h inrs ra lasici of oupu. W shall also ak ndognous h growh ra of ipors, assuing ha his ra is a funcion of h oupu growh ra: µ, wih µ > 14 whr µ is h ipor lasici of oupu. 3 For apl, if L 1 ars, r* 5% and h counr risk priu k.3 3 basis poins, hn.125. Wih rad in balanc, h growh ra of h db/oupu raio is zro onl if oupu grows a an annual ra of 1.25%. If h cono is growing a a ra of 7% and h db/oupu raio is 5% /.5, a rad surplus of 1.2% of oupu is ndd o sabiliz h db/oupu raio.

6 6 4. Th dnaics of db To rsolv diffrnial quaion 9 and obain db rajcor w us spcif h rajcoris of pors and ipors: M M whr and ar h growh ras of pors and ipors, rspcivl. Wih his spcificaion, quaion 9 bcos: d M 15 In h gnral cas ha and, h soluion o h diffrnial quaion is: M M + 16 Obviousl, h wa h db bhavs dpnds on h financial parars niond arlir, on h growh ras of pors and ipors and h condiions of rad dfici or surplus a. W will focus our analsis of h probl of db susainabili on h db/oupu raio. Th rajcor of oupu is: Consqunl, using 16, h db/oupu raio follows h rajcor: M [ ] + [ ] 17 Th voluion of h db/oupu raio, lik db islf, dpnds on h iniial posiion of h rad balanc. W wan o rov his ln o focus h analsis on h parars. In ordr o do his, w will assu hncforh ha h saring poin is a rad balanc. W will hrfor ak M and subsiu prssion of h of h db/oupu raio rajcor: in 17, which givs h following

7 This prssion clarl shows h iniial condiions ha influnc h voluion of h db/oupu raio: h dgr of opnnss of h cono / and h db/por raio /. Th firs of hs is a scal facor which dos no alr h characrisics of h db/oupu rajcor. This rajcor dpnds ssniall on h iniial db/por raio. A dvaluaion, for apl, brings abou an incras in h rlaiv pric of radabl goods, which incrass h dgr of opnnss of h cono and hrfor uliplis h whol curv of h db/oupu raio b his facor. This sa dvaluaion dos no affc h db/por raio, howvr, which hrfor dos no alr h for and characrisics of h db/oupu raio rajcor. Th dvaluaion affcs h shap of his curv onl hrough is ral ffcs, ha is, hrough is influnc on h ras of pors and ipors. Th inroducion of h hpohss for h ral cono 13 and 14 dfins a odl whos opraion can b plaind b obsrvaion of quaion 18. An incras in h counr risk priu nds o rais h db/oupu raio on h financial sid, bcaus parars and incras. Th incorporaion of h rcssionar ffc of a ris in h inrs ra adds anohr ln on h ral sid: an incras in h counr risk priu nds o lowr h oupu growh ra and, as a rsul, nds o rais h db/oupu raio. Bu a downurn in h growh ra of h cono causs a dip in h growh ra of ipors. Wih an por growh ra unalrd, h rad surplus pands or h dfici conracs and his ffc nds o lowr h db/oupu raio. 5. Financial dfici and rad surplus In ordr o anals h voluion of h db/oupu raio, w will sablish a nubr of rsricions on h odl parars. Th bs wa o do his is o sar wih quaion 11 and rwri i assuing iniial condiions of rad in balanc M. k ˆ k k k 19 Equaion 19 prsss h growh ra of h db/oupu raio. In his quaion w hav spcifid h parars ha dpnd on h counr risk priu. L us iagin ha in < h cono princs a counr risk priu which w will call k such ha h ra of growh is qual o h cos of rfinancing inrs and capial auriis on rnal db. Wih his growh ra, h ra of pansion in ipors is qual o h ra of pansion of pors, so ha h cono grows wih rad in balanc. In < quaion 19 would giv: ˆ

8 8 Th ra of growh of h db/oupu raio is nil and h cono is on a susainabl db rajcor wih a consan db/oupu raio. L us now iagin ha a conagion ffc pushs up h counr risk priu in k > k. In consqunc, riss, and a h sa i h ra of growh dclins >, < so ha >. Th growh ra of h db/oupu raio will urn posiiv hrough his ffc. Bu h downurn in h ra of conoic growh brings abou a fall in h growh ra of ipors < and hrfor > whn. In addiion, no wih quaion 19 ha in h growh ra of h db/oupu raio is posiiv: ˆ Th ffc of h incras in h counr risk priu is an upward rnd in h db/oupu raio. Bu fro a zro valu whn, h surplus bgins o pand whn >. In wha circusancs can a growing rad surplus offs h financial ffc of a ris in h counr risk priu and ak rnal db susainabl? In gnral rs, his probl iplis h following rsricions on h parars: > ; > L us anals h dnaics of h db/oupu raio wih hs supposiions. Indpndnl of h probl ha jusifis h, h supposiions w ar assuing appar o b h onl ons of inrs for analsing db susainabili. If > and h cono is no gnraing a rad surplus, h db/oupu raio is plosiv and h db is unqusionabl unsusainabl. If, w could discuss, for apl, how uch of a rad dfici h db rnd can olra wihou bcoing plosiv, bu his avnu of nquir dos no appar o b paricularl nicing.

9 9 6. Firs condiion of susainabili Th firs condiion of susainabili is ha h db/oupu raio us no bco plosiv. Th curv prssd b quaion 16 us hav a aiu. Th firs ordr condiion is: { + } 2 Th scond ordr condiion is: { } 2 2 < 21 4 Fro 2 i is clar ha h db/por raio is h onl iniial condiion rlvan for h isnc of a aiu.

In his cas h db/oupu raio would nd o grow bcaus of h ris, bu would rach a aiu poin. 4 In fac, vrificaion of h scond ordr condiion is rdundan bcaus w know ha >, so ha if 2 has a poin of inflion, i us b a aiu.

10 1 If <, h condiion o vrif 2 and 21 whn > is: > 22 This is donsrad in h ann. In rs of our probl, a ris in h risk priu aks h nw valu of highr han h growh ra of pors. In his cas, h db would b susainabl onl if 22 wr vrifid. Ohrwis h db/oupu raio would grow plosivl. Givn L and r*, an por growh ra and lasiciis ρ and µ, h lf-hand br of 22 is a dcrasing funcion of h counr risk priu: k [ k ] [ k ][ k k ] H k 23 Curv H is illusrad on h lf panl of figur 1. Th db/oupu raio has a aiu onl if h valu of H corrsponding o a givn k is grar han /. Th inrscion of curv H wih sraigh lin / drins criical risk priu k c such ha h db/oupu raio bcos plosiv for an k kc. Th wo panls of figur 1 illusra h abov probl in h cas ha h ris in h risk priu drins a valu >. Whn <, h counr risk priu was k and h growh of h cono was qual o h growh ra of h db. If h counr risk priu wr o ris b k1 k such ha H k 1 >, h db/oupu raio would nd o grow, bu i would rach a aiu, as shown in h scond panl. B conras, if h ris in h counr risk priu is k2 k, i would b larg nough for H k 2 <, and h db/oupu raio would nd o grow plosivl, as is also shown in h scond panl. W ar now in a posiion o su up h conclusions w hav drawn and prss h in rs of h probl s ou abov. In h vn of an incras in h counr risk priu, db susainabili dpnds firs of all on h growh ra of pors. If h cono is growing wih balancd rad, bu incrasing rad opnnss, h db is susainabl providd ha is sill lowr han h growh ra of pors afr h ris in h risk priu. In a diffrn scnario for apl if h cono is growing wih consan rnal rad/oupu cofficins, db susainabili dpnds on h db/por raio. Th lowr h db/por raio, h largr a ris in h risk priu h db/oupu raio can bar wihou bcoing plosiv.

11 11 L us now considr wo counris which hav h sa iniial condiions and bhaviour parars, cp for hir dgr of rad opnnss and, consqunl, hir db/por raios. Boh hav h sa iniial db/oupu raio, bu h firs cono has a significanl lowr por/oupu raio and hrfor ipor/oupu raio han h scond. W will call h firs cono Chil and h scond Brasarg. Boh hav h sa curv H k, as shown in figur 2. L us suppos ha boh princ an idnical variaion in counr risk priu k1 k such ha h nw valu of is highr han h growh ra of pors causd, sa, b an across-h-board drop in h prics of rging ark bonds. Wih h nw counr risk priu, h db/oupu raio grows plosivl in Brasarg, whil in Chil h db rains susainabl.

13 13 Figur 3 H k k H k 7. Mulipl quilibria and slf-fulfilling prophcis L us iagin ha inrnaional invsors includ h db/por raio in hir counr risk assssn. Cris paribus, h highr h db/por raio, h highr h counr risk priu, sinc a highr db/por raio aks h counr or likl o nr ino an plosiv db rajcor in h vn of a slup in h pric of is bonds. Th rasoning bhind his assssn of risk is capabl of allowing for conoic polic racions. In h vn of a chang in inrnaional financial condiions ha hrans h susainabili of rnal db, h counr s govrnn can ipln asurs o incras h growh ra of pors and hus nsur susainabili. As can b sn in quaion 22, howvr, h highr h db/por raio, h largr h ndd incras in pors. Th odl consising of h condiion of susainabili and h funcion of h risk priu: k k H k k '<

14 14 can hav ulipl quilibria, as shown in figur 3. Curvs H k and k H, / inrsc a svral poins. In ohr words, h funcion is saisfid b diffrn risk prius, which drin crain db/oupu raio rajcoris. Cris paribus, h db is susainabl wih a sall counr risk priu. B conras, h db is unsusainabl for counr risk prius such ha H k. Figur 4 uss Chil and Brasarg o show h odl in which counris ha ar siilar bu hav diffrn rnal db/por raios prfor wih diffrn counr risk prius. In h figur, Chil s priu k Ch is lowr han Brasarg s priu k B bcaus Brasarg has a significanl highr db/por raio han Chil. Howvr, his assssn b h inrnaional financial ark has pushd Brasarg s counr risk priu clos o h criical valu ha would ak is db unsusainabl. As a rsul, Brasarg is or vulnrabl o alraions in inrnaional financial condiions han Chil, bcaus an incras of qual agniud in h wo counris risk prius aks Brasarg s db unsusainabl, whil ha of Chil coninus o b susainabl. For h sa rason, Brasarg s susainabili is or pron o slf-fulfilling prophcis. Whn h risk priu is such ha h valu of H k cos clos o h db/por raio as is h cas of Brasarg in figur 4, w a rasonabl assu ha inrnaional invsors will bco or pron o suddn changs of opinion in rspons o dosic or inrnaional signals, which can asil lad o incrass in h risk priu ha ak h counr s db unsusainabl. 8. Coplnar condiions of susainabili Th isnc of a aiu in h db/oupu raio is no a paricularl danding condiion. As wll as non-plosivnss, db susainabili ough o saisf ohr condiions, such as hos s forh blow. a Posiiv growh ra Th firs addiional condiion w will considr is h rquirn for h cono o ainain a posiiv growh ra. In h vn of an incras in h counr risk priu, h db a b susainabl in h sns ha i is no plosiv; vn so, his condiion a b vrifid in h con of a downurn in oupu. If h non-plosiv rajcor is basd on a prolongd conracion in oupu and ipors, soonr or lar i will bco ipossibl for h counr o is conracual obligaions. In consqunc, his condiion of susainabili is:

15 15 >, which in rs of our probl can b prssd as: + ρ k k 24 > whr ρ < is h inrs ra lasici of oupu and k k in h incras in h counr risk priu. Fro 24 i follows ha: k k < or ρ k < k 25 ρ

17 17 Rsricion 25 is opraiv for a counr risk priu ha is lowr han ha which would ak h db unsusainabl fro h poin of viw of non-plosivnss. Figur 5 illusras his possibili. Th lowr panl of h figur shows wo curvs r * + k which prss h growh ras as a funcion of h inrs ra. Curv 2 cus sraigh lin a k k 2, a highr risk priu han ha which aks h db/oupu raio plosiv. In his cas, condiion 25 dos no opra: whn h risk priu riss h db bcos plosiv vn whn conoic growh ras ar posiiv. On h ohr hand, if h cono donsras curv 1, which cus sraigh lin a k k1, a lowr risk priu han would ak h db/oupu raio plosiv, h opraiv susainabili condiion is h on ha rquirs a posiiv growh ra. In his cas, h growh ra urns ngaiv for counr risk prius wih which h db would sill b susainabl fro h poin of viw of non-plosivnss. b Lowr lii o h absorpion/oupu raio Anohr condiion of susainabili can b drivd fro h isnc of an uppr lii on h proporion of oupu ha us b ransfrrd ou of h counr o db coins. L us suppos ha hr is an incras in h counr risk priu which is susainabl fro h prspciv of non-plosivnss. In h procss ha gnras h ris in h risk priu, h rad surplus rnds sadil upwards as a proporion of oupu. As a rsul, h absorpion/oupu raio dclins coninuousl. A h sa i, h db/oupu raio incrass unil i rachs a aiu a a givn poin in i. Fro hn on, providing hr is no alraion in h parars, h surplus will coninu o incras as a proporion of oupu and h db/oupu raio will rnd downwards. I a b supposd ha, onc h db/oupu raio has rachd is aiu lvl, cono polic will b dircd a incrasing h cono s growh ra and hnc h ra of growh of ipors, prsrving susainabili, sabilizing or rducing h downward rnd in h db/oupu raio and balancing or iigaing h conracion in h absorpion/oupu raio. This procss could no co abou if h absorpion/oupu raio wr o boo ou bfor h db/oupu raio rachd is aiu poin. This would ak h db unsusainabl. Th lii on h conracion of absorpion is drind ssniall b h isnc of an adissibl lvl in h cono s consupion ra, sinc h invsn ra canno drop blow a crain floor lvl wihou affcing h oupu growh ra and ipors. 5 12: W can approach his condiion of susainabili in a foral annr using prssion 5 This argun was coonl usd in h scond half of h 198s, whn h adjusn of h Lain Arican conois o pos-crisis condiions was on h agnda.

Subsiuing in 26, h condiion of susainabili a b prssd as: a s Condiion 27 spcifis h ciling ha h cono s db/oupu raio a rach wihou cding h aiu adissibl ouward ransfr. For a givn counr risk priu, which drins a non-plosiv db rajcor, h db bcos unsusainabl if h db/oupu raio violas condiion L us no ha b dfining a aiu flow of adissibl rnal ransfr w arriv a a drinaion of a ciling on h db/oupu raio. Th condiion is forall analogous o h condiion ha ariss fro dircl supposing ha h counr is facing an rnal financing squz in proporion o is lvl of GP. 7 Clarl, in 27 h rsricion is no a chanical on, bu dpnds on h inrnaional inrs ra and h counr risk priu. Th highr h counr risk priu, h lowr h ciling on h db/oupu raio. Figur 6 illusras his condiion of susainabili. Th figur shows h rajcor of h db/oupu raio for a drind risk priu k. Th rajcor saisfis h non-plosivnss 6 Wih L 1 ars, r* 5%, k 5 hundrdhs of a prcnag poin and a aiu ouward ransfr ra s 3% of oupu, h db/oupu raio could no ris abov 51%. 7 Th rsricion is analogous o h isnc of a lii on h db/n worh raio in h cas of corpora financing.
