Un análisis dinámico de la hoja de balance del Banco Central del Uruguay

2015

Abstract

This document aims to analyze the impact on the sustainability of the Central Bank of Uruguay's balance sheet of having defined several simultaneous targets. Potential conflicts between these different targets are studied through a standard model of dynamic analysis of central banks' balance sheets. This situation is first addressed from a theoretical point of view and is afterwards analyzed after a calibration of the Central Bank of Uruguay's information. This study proves that the coexistence of the Central Bank's inflation target and reserve accumulation target results in a systematic deterioration of its balance sheet. The simulations of the balance sheet of the Central Bank of Uruguay show that, even after the 2010 capitalization, to continue the level of accumulation of reserves carried out in recent years, results in a systematic and increasing deterioration of this balance.
