Esto a\u00fan es un pron\u00f3stico, pero que ahora est\u00e1 respaldado por las medidas tomadas por las autoridades monetarias. Espec\u00edficamente, las palabras y el actuar de los bancos centrales de Estados Unidos, Europa, el Reino Unido y algunos mercados emergentes, tales como el de Turqu\u00eda, han enviado un mensaje simple: el crecimiento debe desacelerarse antes de que la inflaci\u00f3n se convierta en una preocupaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s seria.<br \/>\nEsto significa que las fuerzas c\u00edclicas que conducen la \u201cera dorada\u201d de la rentabilidad, tan destacada en pr\u00e1cticamente todas las econom\u00edas del mundo durante los \u00faltimos cuatro a\u00f1os, llegan a su fin. Se aproxima un per\u00edodo, quiz\u00e1s prolongado, de menor crecimiento tanto de la econom\u00eda como de las ganancias corporativas. La era de una pol\u00edtica monetaria acomodaticia, con su sello de tasas de inter\u00e9s real muy bajas, ha terminado. Las tasas reales podr\u00edan no subir a niveles particularmente altos en este ciclo si se hace una comparaci\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica, pero apuntar\u00e1n -por un tiempo- a rangos m\u00e1s altos de lo que ha sido la norma en el \u00faltimo quinquenio.<br \/>\nConsideramos adem\u00e1s que la pr\u00f3xima desaceleraci\u00f3n \u2013incluso si resulta ser un ajuste gradual- podr\u00eda no ser sucedida por un despegue gradual de la actividad. La econom\u00eda mundial probablemente enfrentar\u00e1 problemas en los a\u00f1os venideros mientras intenta contrarrestar la contracci\u00f3n en la demanda interna de Estados Unidos. Los candidatos para reemplazar el consumo estadounidense como un \u201cagente de gasto de \u00faltimo recurso\u201d son los consumidores de Asia o de Europa o bien el sector corporativo de cualquier parte (incluso de Estados Unidos). Sin embargo, no vemos a ninguno de estos candidatos con suficiente potencial de gasto para contrarrestar la baja en el consumo de Estados Unidos.<br \/>\nNuestra proyecci\u00f3n central para el crecimiento mundial no ha cambiado, pero los riesgos para nuestros pron\u00f3sticos han pasado de alcistas a bajistas. Todav\u00eda esperamos que el crecimiento del PIB mundial caiga bajo la tendencia y la tasa de consenso del 3,5% en el 2007 (inferior al promedio del 4,3% de los \u00faltimos 18 meses). Proyectamos que el crecimiento de Estados Unidos encabezar\u00e1 la baja, desaceler\u00e1ndose a una tasa anualizada del 2,7% durante los pr\u00f3ximos 18 meses. Europa y Asia probablemente mantendr\u00e1n un impulso m\u00e1s s\u00f3lido, pero s\u00f3lo por alg\u00fan tiempo. Es probable que cada regi\u00f3n grande experimente en cierta forma un crecimiento m\u00e1s d\u00e9bil en el segundo semestre del 2007. En esencia, la p\u00e9rdida de demanda final estadounidense y el ajuste asistido de las exportaciones netas no se compensar\u00e1n totalmente en estas regiones por un consumo o gasto de inversi\u00f3n m\u00e1s s\u00f3lido en Europa, Asia o, m\u00e1s notablemente, China.<br \/>\nEl impacto sobre Chile ser\u00e1 significativo, pero no debiera exagerarse. Chile sigue siendo la m\u00e1s abierta de las principales econom\u00edas latinoamericanas, con una alta relaci\u00f3n exportaciones\/PIB y bajas barreras arancelarias. Ello hace que el pa\u00eds est\u00e9 m\u00e1s expuesto que la mayor\u00eda a las tendencias del PIB a nivel mundial. Esto se contrarresta s\u00f3lo parcialmente por los flujos comerciales ampliamente diversificados en t\u00e9rminos geogr\u00e1ficos. Sin embargo, el precio del cobre -la exportaci\u00f3n chilena clave- debiera mantenerse sobre los niveles hist\u00f3ricos. Aunque el menor crecimiento mundial afectar\u00e1 la demanda de cobre, cuyos precios se proyecta caer\u00e1n de manera significativa, desde el punto de vista de la oferta debiera mantenerse ajustado y esto servir\u00e1 para dar soporte a los precios. Adicionalmente, las s\u00f3lidas finanzas p\u00fablicas de Chile, m\u00ednima deuda externa y flujos de inversi\u00f3n extranjera directa protegen al pa\u00eds significativamente contra las mayores tasas de inter\u00e9s a nivel mundial y la volatilidad de los flujos de capital a nivel regional.<!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nWe believe that a fundamental turning point for the world economy has arrived and, although Chile is well-prepared, this will have important implications for its performance.<br \/>\nThe four-year run of above-trend global GDP growth is drawing to a close. This is still a forecast, but one that is now backed by the actions of monetary authorities. Specifically, the words and deeds of central banks in the U.S., Europe, the UK and some emerging markets, such as Turkey, have sent a simple message: growth must slow before inflation becomes a more serious concern.<br \/>\nThis means that the cyclical forces driving the \u2018golden era\u2019 of profitability, so prominent in virtually all the world\u2019s economies over the past three to four years, are coming to an end. A period, perhaps prolonged, of slower economic and corporate-earnings growth lies ahead. The era of accommodative monetary policy, with its hallmark of very low real interest rates, is over. Real rates may not peak in this cycle at particularly high levels by historical comparison, but they will -for a time &#8211; travel in higher ranges than the norms of the past half-decade.<br \/>\nWe further believe that the coming slowdown &#8211; even if it proves to be a \u2018soft landing\u2019- may not be followed by a \u2018soft take-off\u2019. The global economy is likely to struggle in the years ahead as it gropes to offset the loss of U.S. domestic demand. Candidates to replace the U.S. consumer as \u2018spender of last resort\u2019 are consumers in either Asia or Europe, or the corporate sector everywhere (including the U.S.). However, we do not see any of these candidates with sufficient spending potential to offset the loss of the U.S. consumer.<br \/>\nOur central projections for global growth have not changed, but the risks to our forecasts have shifted from the upside, to downside. We still expect world GDP growth to slow to a sub-trend and sub-consensus rate of 3.5% in 2007 (down from an average of 4.3% over the last 18 months). We forecast U.S. growth to lead the way down, slowing to an annualized 2.7% over the next 18 months. Europe and Asia will probably maintain stronger momentum, but only for a while. Every major region is likely to be experiencing somewhat weaker growth by the second half of 2007. In essence, the loss of U.S. final demand and the attendant softening of net exports will not be fully offset in these regions by stronger consumption or investment spending in Europe, Asia or, most notably, China.<br \/>\nThe impact on Chile will be significant, but should not be exaggerated. Chile remains the most open of the major Latin American economies, with a high exports\/GDP ratio and low tariff barriers. This makes the country more exposed than most to global GDP trends. This is only partially offset by Chile\u2019s very geographically diversified trade flows. However, the price of copper &#8211; the key Chilean export &#8211; should remain at above historic levels. Although slowing global growth will impact copper demand, with prices forecast to fall significantly, the supply side should remain tight, and this will work to support prices. Additionally, Chile\u2019s sound public finances, negligible external debt, and foreign direct investment flows give the country significant protection against higher global interest rates and regional capital-flow volatility.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->Creemos que la econom\u00eda mundial ha llegado a un punto de quiebre fundamental y, aunque Chile est\u00e1 bien preparado, esto tendr\u00e1 importantes implicancias para su desempe\u00f1o.<br \/>\nLos cuatro a\u00f1os de crecimiento del PIB mundial sobre la tendencia est\u00e1n llegando a su fin.<!--:--><!--:en-->We believe that a fundamental turning point for the world economy has arrived and, although Chile is well-prepared, this will have important implications for its performance.<br \/>\nThe four-year run of above-trend global GDP growth is drawing to a close.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news_tax":[],"user_type":[],"class_list":["post-3674","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Punto de quiebreA Turning Point - AmCham Chile<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/amchamchile.cl\/noticia\/punto-de-quiebre\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Punto de quiebreA Turning Point - AmCham Chile\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Creemos que la econom\u00eda mundial ha llegado a un punto de quiebre fundamental y, aunque Chile est\u00e1 bien preparado, esto tendr\u00e1 importantes implicancias para su desempe\u00f1o.
