Abstract

[eng] The long term determinants of the Brazilian foreign accounts . This article discusses the macroeconomic determinants of current account imbalances and analyses how these variables evolved in Brazilian economy recently. We also compare episodes of huge current account imbalances in selected developing countries to try to determine how long and to which level a country can sustain systematic deficits. Finally we simulate the path of future current account deficits in Brazil in the context of a necessary increase in potential GDP in the years ahead, concluding that Brazil will probably run moderate deficits to enhance its sustainable GDP growth. . Classification JEL : F2, F3, F43, O2, O54. [fre] Cet article discute les déterminants macroéconomiques des déséquilibres en compte courant et analyse la manière dont les variables ont évolué récemment dans l'économie brésilienne. Nous comparons également des épisodes de grands déséquilibres en compte courant dans des pays en voie de développement sélectionnés dans le but d’essayer de déterminer pour combien de temps et à quel niveau un pays peut soutenir des déficits systématiques. Pour finir, nous simulons la trajectoire des déficits en compte courant futurs au Brésil dans le contexte d’une hausse nécessaire du PIB potentiel dans les années à venir et nous arrivons à la conclusion que le Brésil va probablement encourir des déficits modérés pour augmenter la croissance soutenable de son PIB. . Classification JEL : F2, F3, F43, O2, O54.
