Abstract

In the late 1970s, the Southern-Cone countries comprising Argentina, Chile and Uruguay launched stabilisation programmes based on a pre-announced path for the exchange rate that exhibited a declining rate of devaluation — the Tablitas.2 Policymakers expected a stabilisation plan based on the exchange rate as the nominal anchor to act directly on inflationary expectations — which were viewed as a central determinant of short-run inflation — thus increasing the chances of lowering inflation at no significant real cost.
