Abstract

Resumen: Este artículo desarrolla un índice que permite medir los niveles de incertidumbre en la economía colombiana, al cual se le ha nombrado índice mensual de incertidumbre financiera y económica (IMIFE). Se utiliza la metodología de factores dinámicos, usando los históricos de los precios internacionales del petróleo, carbón, gas y la tasa representativa del mercado peso por dólar (TRM). Como resultados relevantes, se encuentra que el índice aumentó en momentos de crisis económica, como lo fueron los anos 2008 (crisis subprime) y 2020 (Covid-19). Igualmente, se identificó un comportamiento inverso entre el valor de las acciones de las empresas colombianas y el IMIFE, además de un impacto negativo del nivel de incertidumbre sobre la economía nacional. Este índice puede ser utilizado, tanto por los elaboradores de política económica, los inversores del mercado accionario y los gerentes de las organizaciones. Abstract: This document develops an index that allows measuring the levels of uncertainty in the Colombian economy, which has been given the name of the IMIFE monthly index of financial and economic uncertainty. For this, the dynamic factors methodology was used using the historical ones of the international prices of oil, coal, gas, and the representative market rate of the peso per dollar (TRM). As relevant results, it is found that the index increased in times of economic crisis such as in 2008 (crisis suppressed) and 2020 (Covid-19). Likewise, an inverse behavior was identified between the value of the shares of Colombian companies and IMIFE; in addition to a negative impact of this index on the national economy. This index can be used by both economic policy makers, stock market investors, and organization managers Résumé: Cet article propose un indice qui mesure les niveaux d’incertitude dans l’économie colombienne, appelé « indice mensuel d’incertitude financiere et économique, IMIFE ». Nous adoptons la méthodologie des facteurs dynamiques en prenant les prix internationaux historiques du pétrole, du charbon, du gaz et le taux de change peso/dollar (TRM). Nous constatons que l’indice augmente dans les périodes de crises économiques, comme par exemple, en 2008 (la crise supprime) et en 2020 (la crise du Covid-19). Nous avons également identifié un comportement inverse entre la valeur des actions des entreprises colombiennes et l’IMIFE, en plus d’un impact négatif du niveau d’incertitude sur l’économie nationale. Cet indice peut etre utilisé a la fois par les décideurs politiques, les investisseurs boursiers et les gestionnaires des entreprises
