Ciertamente eso se aplica al reciente anuncio realizado por el Ministerio de Hacienda que indica que ayudar\u00e1 a financiar el programa estatal de reconstrucci\u00f3n de US$ 8.400 millones tras el terremoto del 27 de febrero mediante la emisi\u00f3n de bonos globales denominados en pesos.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Los fondos restantes provendr\u00e1n de una mezcla de fuentes que incluye reasignaciones presupuestarias, la emisi\u00f3n de deuda local, un aumento temporal de los impuestos corporativos y donaciones privadas alentadas por la nueva Ley de Donaciones aprobada por el Congreso en mayo. Adem\u00e1s, se espera la obtenci\u00f3n de recursos adicionales a partir de la venta de participaciones en empresas p\u00fablicas no esenciales, as\u00ed como del Fondo de Estabilizaci\u00f3n Econ\u00f3mica y Social (FEES), creado gracias a las ganancias extraordinarias generadas por las exportaciones de cobre.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El Gobierno planea emitir un total de US$ 1.500 millones en deuda extranjera, lo que incluye US$ 1.000 millones en bonos denominados en d\u00f3lares a 10 a\u00f1os y US$ 500 millones en lo que ser\u00e1 el primer instrumento de deuda denominado en pesos emitido por Chile en los mercados financieros mundiales.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Esta no es la primera oportunidad que tienen los inversionistas extranjeros de comprar deuda denominada en pesos -la primera emisi\u00f3n de deuda de este tipo fue una Euronota indexada a la inflaci\u00f3n a cinco a\u00f1os por 55.000 millones de pesos chilenos (US$ 105 millones) que coloc\u00f3 el Banco Mundial en el 2000\u2013 pero esta es su primera oportunidad para comprar deuda con el respaldo del Estado de Chile. Esto representa un paso significativo en la internacionalizaci\u00f3n del peso chileno, con el que sigue la pista de naciones desarrolladas que han emitido deuda en sus propias monedas. Despu\u00e9s de todo, el propio Chile -que formaliz\u00f3 su membres\u00eda en la Organizaci\u00f3n para la Cooperaci\u00f3n y el Desarrollo Econ\u00f3micos (OCDE) en mayo- pronto deber\u00eda convertirse en un pa\u00eds desarrollado. El presidente Pi\u00f1era ha prometido que Chile alcanzar\u00e1 el nivel del PIB per c\u00e1pita de una econom\u00eda desarrollada para el 2018.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Estos bonos marcar\u00e1n un regreso a los mercados internacionales de capital para el Estado chileno, el que recurri\u00f3 por \u00faltima vez a dichos mercados en el 2004. Este retorno es esencial dado que la emisi\u00f3n soberana servir\u00e1 como un referencial para las empresas chilenas que intenten emitir deuda a nivel internacional. No obstante, el Ministerio de Hacienda deber\u00eda comprometerse a realizar otras emisiones con el fin de mantener el estatus referencial del bono soberano m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la necesidad de corto plazo para financiar la reconstrucci\u00f3n posterior al terremoto.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">La actual agitaci\u00f3n en los mercados financieros internacionales debido a la crisis de deuda de Europa tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda terminar demostrando que no hay mal que por bien no venga. Si bien los inversionistas tienen una mayor aversi\u00f3n al riesgo producto de la crisis, la econom\u00eda chilena brilla en comparaci\u00f3n con la de algunos pa\u00edses europeos gracias a sus s\u00f3lidas bases macroecon\u00f3micas y disciplina fiscal (Chile se convirti\u00f3 en un acreedor neto en el 2007). Las agencias calificadoras de riesgo crediticio han asignado a Chile una calificaci\u00f3n de deuda soberana de \u201cA+\u201d (Moody\u2019s y Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s) y \u201cA\u201d (Fitch), entre las calificaciones m\u00e1s altas para las econom\u00edas en v\u00edas de desarrollo.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Como resultado, los bonos chilenos deber\u00edan alcanzar un diferencial m\u00e1s bajo respecto del bono del Tesoro de Estados Unidos de igual vencimiento \u2013lo que usualmente se conoce como riesgo soberano- que la mayor\u00eda de las dem\u00e1s econom\u00edas emergentes e incluso que algunas econom\u00edas desarrolladas que enfrentan dificultades financieras como Grecia o Portugal. No obstante, la mayor\u00eda de los analistas prev\u00e9n que las autoridades chilenas esperar\u00e1n hasta que los mercados financieros se calmen antes de dar luz verde a la emisi\u00f3n del bono denominado en pesos. Puede que el pasaporte del peso ya est\u00e9 timbrado, pero la actual turbulencia en los mercados mundiales podr\u00eda mantenerlo en tierra por un poco m\u00e1s de tiempo.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><STRONG><EM>Axel Christensen es el director gerente de BlackRock para Am\u00e9rica del Sur, sin incluir Brasil<\/EM><\/STRONG><\/P><!--:--><!--:en--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">There is much truth in the saying that disaster often brings opportunity. That is certainly the case with the Finance Ministry\u2019s recent announcement that it will help fund the state\u2019s US$ 8.4 billion reconstruction program after the February 27 earthquake by issuing a Peso-denominated global bond.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">The remaining funds will come from a mix of sources including budget reassignments, the issuance of domestic debt, a temporary increase in corporate taxes and private donations spurred by a new Donations Law approved by Congress in May. Additional resources are expected to come from selling stakes in non-essential public utilities as well as from the Economic and Social Stabilization Fund (ESSF) created by windfall profits from copper exports.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">The government plans to issue a total US$ 1.5 billion in foreign debt, including US$1 billion in 10-year dollar-denominated bonds and US$ 500 million in what will be the first Peso-denominated debt instrument issued by Chile in global financial markets.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">This is not the first chance for foreign investors to buy Peso-denominated debt &#8211; the first such debt issuance was a 55 billion Chilean Peso (US$ 105 million) five-year inflation-indexed Euronote placed by the World Bank in 2000 \u2013 but it is their first chance to buy debt with the backing of the Chilean state. This represents a significant step in the internationalization of the Chilean Peso, following the lead of developed nations that have issued debt in their own currencies. After all, Chile, which formalized its membership in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in May, should soon become a developed country itself. President Pi\u00f1era has vowed that Chile will reach the threshold GDP per capita for a developed economy by 2018.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">These bonds will mark a return to international capital markets for the Chilean state which last tapped foreign markets in 2004. This comeback is essential since the sovereign issuance will serve as a benchmark for Chilean companies looking to issue debt abroad. However, the Finance Ministry should commit to further issuances to maintain the sovereign bond\u2019s benchmark status beyond the short-term need to finance the post- earthquake reconstruction.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">The current turmoil in international financial markets due to the European debt crisis might also be a blessing in disguise. Although investors have increased their risk aversion as a result of the crisis, the Chilean economy shines in comparison to some European countries due to its solid macroeconomic foundation and fiscal discipline (Chile became a net creditor in 2007). Credit rating agencies have rated Chile\u2019s sovereign debt at A+ (Moody\u2019s and Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s) and A (Fitch), among the highest ratings for developing economies.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">As a result, Chilean bonds should command a lower spread over the U.S. Treasury bond of the same maturity \u2013 commonly referred to as Sovereign Risk &#8211; than most other emerging countries and even some developed economies facing financial hardship like Greece or Portugal. However, most analysts expect Chilean authorities to wait until financial markets calm down before giving a green light to the Peso-bond issue. The Peso\u2019s passport might be stamped, but the current turbulence in world markets could keep it grounded a little while longer.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><STRONG>Axel Christensen is Managing Director of BlackRock for South America ex Brazil<\/STRONG><\/P><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Hay mucho de cierto en eso de que los desastres a menudo traen oportunidades.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news_tax":[],"user_type":[],"class_list":["post-4271","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
