Aunque el acto de Brexit es un proceso de m\u00faltiples etapas, el primero y quiz\u00e1s el m\u00e1s importante obst\u00e1culo fue cruzado a finales de junio, cuando los brit\u00e1nicos votaron de forma inesperada a favor de dejar la UE. Quedan muchos pasos para seguir, por tanto, las consecuencias econ\u00f3micas son cuestionables, pero es evidente que las repercusiones pol\u00edticas est\u00e1n muy extendidas y traen consigo muchos riesgos de cola.<\/p>\n<p>En los d\u00edas previos a la votaci\u00f3n, los expertos asignaron una baja probabilidad de un voto a favor de Brexit, en algunos casos tan bajas como 20%. Como tal, el resultado sorprendi\u00f3 a muchos participantes en el mercado y elev\u00f3 las perspectivas de volatilidad en los mercados financieros. A pesar de una reacci\u00f3n negativa inicial, los mercados financieros en general mostraron harta resiliencia en la primera semana despu\u00e9s de la votaci\u00f3n con las monedas m\u00e1s afectadas, generalmente planas y bolsas de valores m\u00e1s altas.<\/p>\n<p>En l\u00ednea con la mayor parte de los comentarios despu\u00e9s de la votaci\u00f3n, esto sugiere que la mayor\u00eda de los participantes del mercado ven Brexit m\u00e1s como un tema pol\u00edtico transitorio que econ\u00f3mico con limitados efectos inmediatos sobre la econom\u00eda global. De hecho, algunos podr\u00edan decir que a pesar de los impactos espec\u00edficos en ciertos sectores\/pa\u00edses, el actual proceso de Brexit en realidad significar\u00e1 m\u00e1s est\u00edmulo monetario, que puede ser positivo para el crecimiento.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras tanto, el proceso de Brexit es incierto y tomar\u00e1 tiempo. Gran Breta\u00f1a debe definir en primer lugar al primer ministro que tendr\u00e1 la tarea de implementar, o no, la aparente voluntad de los ciudadanos. Los tr\u00e1mites asociados de Brexit entonces, podr\u00edan tomar hasta dos a\u00f1os para ejecutarse, tiempo durante el cual el sentimiento de los votantes podr\u00eda cambiar y\/o ofertas podr\u00edan ser negociadas.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras tanto, hay incertidumbre de las decisiones de Escocia e Irlanda. Adem\u00e1s, las estimaciones de la mayor\u00eda de los economistas muestran un peque\u00f1o impacto negativo en el crecimiento, limitado en gran medida al Reino Unido con pocos efectos adicionales en la econom\u00eda mundial.<\/p>\n<p>En el caso de Chile, la exposici\u00f3n directa sigue siendo limitada con s\u00f3lo el 14% de las exportaciones a la UE \/ UK, mientras que las exportaciones totales s\u00f3lo representan el 26% del PIB. En otras palabras, s\u00f3lo alrededor del 3-4% de la econom\u00eda de Chile se expone directamente.<\/p>\n<p>Pese al clima relativamente positivo mostrado por los mercados, y que no hay aparentes consecuencias econ\u00f3micas considerables en el corto plazo en medio de un proceso incierto y prolongado, los riesgos pol\u00edticos no pueden ser pasados por alto.<\/p>\n<p>En todo caso, Brexit ha servido como un refer\u00e9ndum sobre la clase pol\u00edtica en general, un movimiento nacionalista que parece estar ganando terreno en muchas partes del mundo, como consecuencia de la frustraci\u00f3n relacionada con temas espec\u00edficos, tales como la pol\u00edtica de inmigraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Los EE.UU. est\u00e1n siendo testigo de esto en su propia campa\u00f1a electoral, mientras que otros pa\u00edses de Europa est\u00e1n tambi\u00e9n en los procesos electorales y de plebiscitos similares que podr\u00edan servir para alimentar el fuego. Independientemente de si este resulta ser un evento transformador en la historia del mundo, las actuales fuerzas en juego est\u00e1n aprobando definitivamente el cambio que tiene el potencial para crear un alto grado de turbulencia en un momento en que los mercados est\u00e1n actualmente preciando un alto grado de complacencia. Entonces s\u00ed, Brexit nos deber\u00eda importar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POR BRIAN P. CHASE<\/strong><br \/>\nPortfolio Manager Head of Andean Equities<br \/>\nIta\u00fa Asset Management[:en]Over the past few months, the world has been focused on the prospect of Britain exiting the European Union (EU), otherwise known as \u201cBrexit\u201d.\u00a0 Although the act of Brexit is a multi-step process, the first and perhaps most important hurdle was crossed in late June, when Britains voted unexpectedly in favor of leaving the EU.\u00a0\u00a0 Many steps remain, thus the ultimate economic repercussions are questionable, but clearly the political reverberations are widespread and bring with them many tail risks.<\/p>\n<p>In the days leading up to the Brexit vote, odds makers had placed a low probability of a vote in favor of leaving, in some cases as low as 20%.\u00a0 As such, the outcome surprised many market participants and raised the prospects for turmoil in the financial markets.\u00a0 Despite an initial negative reaction, financial markets in general were actually quite resilient in the first week after the vote with the most affected currencies generally flat and stock markets finishing higher.\u00a0 In line with much of the commentary after the vote, this suggests that most market participants see Brexit as more of a transitory political issue than an economic one with limited immediate impacts on the global economy.\u00a0 In fact, some might say that despite specific sector\/country impacts, the ongoing process of Brexit will actually mean continued monetary stimulus, which may be positive for growth.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the actual process of Brexit is uncertain and will take time.\u00a0 Britain must first define the prime minister that will be tasked with implementing, or not, the apparent will of the people.\u00a0 The associated formalities of Brexit could then take up to two years to execute, during which time voter sentiment could shift and\/or deals could be brokered.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the decisions of Scotland and Ireland hang in the balance.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, estimates by most economists show a small negative growth impact largely confined to the UK with limited ripple effects in the global economy.\u00a0 In the case of Chile, direct exposure remains limited with only 14% of exports going to the EU\/UK and exports in general only representing 26% of GDP.\u00a0 In other words, only about 3-4% of Chile\u2019s economy is directly exposed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the relatively positive sentiment shown by markets and no apparent sizeable economic consequences in the near term amidst an uncertain and drawn out process, the risks associated with the potential political fallout cannot be overlooked. If anything, Brexit has served as a referendum on the political class in general, a nationalistic movement that seems to be gaining traction in many parts of the world, as frustration related to specific themes, such as immigration policy, mounts.\u00a0 The US is witnessing this in its own presidential campaign, while other countries within Europe are also in similar electoral and plebiscite processes that could serve to fuel the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether this turns out to be a transformative event in the world\u2019s history, the current forces at play are most definitely enacting change that has the potential to create a high degree of turbulence at a moment when markets are currently pricing a high degree of complacency.\u00a0 So yes, Brexit matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POR BRIAN P.
