Artículo de Rogelio Ramírez de la O en el Universal el 9 de marzo de 2016 "Calma Chicha"




 
 
CALMA CHICHA
Rogelio Ramirez de la O*
 
Las economías viven un momento engañoso, pues es improbable que la aparente calma de hoy, donde las bolsas aumentan, las monedas de los países emergentes se aprecian y el precio del petróleo sube, dure mucho tiempo.
        
La razón es que la situación económica fundamental en el mundo no ha mejorado y ni siquiera se sabe qué esperar de las políticas que aplican las autoridades de los países interesados en superar la recesión y la deflación de precios. 
        
Y este es uno de las pocas instancias en las que la economía resulta ser superior al análisis financiero, pues la economía sí nos puede decir que varias situaciones son insostenibles 
Un riesgo fundamental es que Estados Unidos siguió creando nuevos empleos, en febrero 242 mil personas, mientras que continúan el aumento del crédito y de los precios de viviendas. Así, la Reserva Federal (el Fed) tiene escaso margen para no aumentar de nuevo la tasa de interés, aunque no lo haga este marzo.
        
Cuando se acerque el momento del siguiente aumento, regresará la presión sobre tipos de cambio de economías emergentes y, en México, también sobre la tasa de interés, pues la autoridad ya definió que utilizará la tasa para suavizar las devaluaciones.
        
Otro riesgo es la tasa de interés negativa en la zona euro, Japón, Suiza y países nórdicos que no son miembros del euro. Estas tasas no han logrado mayor reactivación económica y sí han hecho perder rentabilidad a los bancos comerciales. También dañan a aseguradoras y fondos de pensiones. 
        
Como la economía no se recupera aun con la tasa negativa y el Banco Central Europeo insiste en hacer más de lo mismo, sólo hace evidente que la política monetaria ya agotó su margen de acción. El resultado es la parálisis y por eso se escuchan de nuevo referencias al dinero del helicóptero.
        
Esta fue la figura introducida por Milton Friedman para ilustrar la situación en la que el banco central ya no tiene más con qué revivir la economía. En un último intento por reanimar el gasto, acaba repartiendo billetes desde un helicóptero.
        
Con China en desaceleración y la previsión de su Partido Comunista de desemplear a 6 millones de trabajadores por el cierre de muchas empresas estatales, sus tres objetivos de política (la “trinidad imposible”) resultan inalcanzables. Si bien desea mantener libre flujo de capitales, también quiere que su moneda ya no se deprecie más y no puede tener ambos a la vez. El libre flujo le causa una pérdida masiva de reservas internacionales que ya superan 700 mil millones de dólares y que, de continuar, hace inevitable la devaluación.
        
El comercio internacional, la pieza más sagrada del paradigma de la globalización, cayó en 2105 13.8% medido en dólares. No sólo no crece  a un múltiplo de varias veces el crecimiento de la economía global, sino que está bajando, por caída de volúmenes y también de precios de bienes.
        
Hay aun más riesgos, entre ellos en América Latina que ya ni siquiera hay espacio para mencionar, incluyendo México, donde ya comenzaron a reducirse las estimaciones de crecimiento. Todo esto sugiere 2-3 años más de ajustes dolorosos y alto riesgo de que la situación económica empeore. Estados Unidos hasta hoy se salva porque es la economía que menos depende del mercado de exportación y en donde sí se logró el inicio de una recuperación. 
 
Sin embargo, sí tiene riesgo de verse envuelto en una nueva recesión global. Ahí se explica el temor y tono proteccionista y aislacionista en las pre-campañas republicanas a la presidencia. En este tema y, aun con su crudeza, son mucho más realistas que los discursos de los demócratas.

Shanghai University of Finance and Economics(SUFE) & Chinese Academy of Social Sciences(CASS).- Alfredo JALIFE-RAHME


Chinese Academy of Social Sciences(CASS)
Intl. Seminar 28.9.13
By Dr.Alfredo JALIFE-RAHME
The Misnomer of “LatinAmerica” and The New Geoestrategic G-3 World Order.

Since its modern inception the so called LatinAmerica never has experienced the present trends towards a more participatory democracy due greatly to the new geostrategic world equilibrium which has been developing and that,in my humble visión,accommodates a G-3 de facto between US,Russia and China.
This G-3 with its respective regional spheres of influence  has become clearer as a result of the virtual conflict resolution to the syrian crisis.
The big picture of the new geostrategic G-3 order  reflects the defining movements and moments coming from the G-7/NATO directed by the US and also from the BRICS and the Shanghai Group where overlap the respective interests from Russia and China.
The former “LatinAmerica” is amisnomer and is no more correct due to the recent geopolitical positionings,even before de virtual conflicto syrian resolution,where collide the new frameworks of “NorthAmerica”,advanced  by legislators and policy makers from USA,and the  reactive concept of “SouthAmerica” coined by the the geostrategists from Brazil,a conspicous member from the BRICS.
Implicitly,”CentralAmerica” belongs to the concept of “NorthAmerica”,the modern US matrix,as a subdivision where the national interests of Washington prevail at the the Gulf of Mexico---intended to be rebaptized as the “Gulf of America”---and the Caribbean Sea:the so called “Mediterranean American Sea” which totals an area of 4.2 kms2.

Graphics: NorthAmerica,Gulf of Mexico,Gulf of America,Caribbean Sea,and the Mediterranean American Sea.

Geoeconomics and defense national security are also colliding within the former “LatinAmerica” between the MERCOSUR/UNASUR---the economic and political integration---in front of the broader  Trans-Pacific Partnership ,contemplated to contain China as a the pivot of the Obama´s doctrine,and its narrower regional application:The Pacific Alliance ---“Alianza del Pacífico”---Chile,Peru,Colombia and Mexico).
Since the death of president Hugo Chavez from Venezuela,the block ALBA has entered a new phase which its natural road would to pertain in the near future to MERCOSUR.
Some school of geopolitical thinking within the US define its “source of power” and the last frontier of US in the hemisphere:tha Amazon as a divide between north and south and the Greater Caribbean :from Yorktown at the mid North Atlancic american ocean,to the Guainias.
I quote the american-israeli geopolitician Robert Kaplan from Stratfor(18.61.2):
“American geopolitical power historically has its source not in Europe or Asia but in the Greater Caribbean. The Greater Caribbean is the world from Yorktown to the Guianas; that is, from the mid-Atlantic states to the jungles of northern South America. The Western Hemisphere, as the Dutch-American strategist Nicholas J. Spykman explained in 1942, is not divided between North and South America. It is divided between the latitudes north of the great barrier of the Amazonian jungle and the latitudes south of it. In other words, from a geopolitical point of view, Venezuela is not a South American country at all. It is a Caribbean country: Most of its population of 28.8 million lives in the north along the Caribbean Sea, secure from the jungles to the south”.
Through the Greater Caribbean concept does the Pentagon pretend to recover what it lost in the past decade  in the former “LatinAmerica”?
Washington has made some movements,overtly or behind the scenes,in Haití, Honduras and Paraguay.
On the brazilean side its geestrategist developed a New Strategic Vision, written in the National Defense Strategy(2008),with its three pillars:nuclear,spatial and cybernetic with its two basic areas South Atlantic and the Amazon.
SouthaAmerica in the brazilean optic is quite distinct from CentralAmerica and the Caribbean “closer to US” or its “security perimeter” or the “American Mediterranean Sea” as coined by Alfred Mahan.
The participatory democracy more vigorously entrenched in SouthAmerica seems to evolve convenientently in spite of authoritarian reactions promoted by US from Venezuela to Paraguay. Honduras coup:the antecesor of the Egyptian model.
The reaction from presidents of Southmerica has been unthinkable were it not because of its particpatory democracy and the new  G-3 balance in the world
The scandals and leakages from Wikileaks and Snowden affected considerably the image of the US and had repercussions in SouthAmerica at the extent point thst
.If the american Snowden is exiled in Russia ,the australian Assange is exiled at the Ecuador embassy.Its symbolism is enormous.
Dilma Roussef the brazilean president has lambasted at the Assembly General of the United Nations the espionage and blatant intrusión from the NSA which captured strategic data from Petrobras,its presidencny and the army. The damage to the relationshipp with US is huge and Dilma cancelled its programmed visit to the uS.
This vigorous response would not have been posible without de support of the whole brazilean society.
Morover:Brazil is now behind the creation o f new internet cable form tyhe BRICS in order tu cut ist dependency on the US.centric internet.The world is changing dramatically in accordance.
