Abstract

Tener conocimiento del balance fiscal estructural es importante tanto para el análisis como para la formulación ex ante de la política fiscal. En este documento proponemos una metodología para la determinación del balance estructural de las finanzas del Gobierno Nacional Central, basados en el procedimiento estándar del FMI. La metodología se construye a partir del cálculo del balance estructural total y primario, con sus correspondientes balances cíclicos, para el período 1980-2002. Utilizamos diferentes técnicas econométricas para la estimación de parámetros relevantes. Los resultados indican que a comienzos de la década de los ochenta y de los noventa el balance fiscal estructural del gobierno estuvo por encima del observado, es decir, el gobierno tuvo un menor déficit o mayor superávit, en una magnitud entre 0.1% y 0.4% del PIB, debido a los movimientos cíclicos del PIB y/o las desviaciones de los precios del crudo por encima de su tendencia de largo plazo y/o por las menores erogaciones por transferencias territoriales. Para el resto del período de análisis sucedió lo contrario, es decir, el balance estructural del gobierno estuvo estuvo por debajo del observado, en una magnitud entre 0.2% y 0.4% del PIB. La magnitud de las diferencias lleva a la conclusión que el balance fiscal del gobierno central de Colombia es básicamente de naturaleza estructural, es decir, que no basta con que el país crezca a tasas iguales al potencial sino que se necesita mucho más esfuerzo (en ingresos y gastos) para ajustar las finanzas del gobierno.
