Abstract

Este documento analiza la historia de 30 años de vulnerabilidad fiscal (VF) en Uruguay desde una perspectiva global. Luego de discutir el marco conceptual propuesto, basado en Hemming y Petrie (2000), se construye una serie de indicadores que intentan captar las distintas fuentes de vulnerabilidad: la posición fiscal inicial, exposición al riesgo de corto plazo derivado del entorno macro-financiero, riesgos inherentes a la sostenibilidad de la política fiscal en el mediano y largo plazo y debilidades estructurales que afectan a la política fiscal. Los diez indicadores seleccionados, que confluyen en un índice global de vulnerabilidad fiscal (IGVF), son utilizados para el análisis de las finanzas públicas de Uruguay en el periodo 1976-2006. El documento concluye que la VF ha sido elevada en todo el periodo, ubicándose actualmente en niveles más altos que al inicio del periodo. No obstante, la VF se ha reducido en los últimos años, al influjo de condiciones externas muy favorables, comunes a las economías de la región y de medidas discrecionales de política. Pese a varios avances vinculados a reformas estructurales, los mismos han sido relativamente lentos e incompletos, dejando una agenda de temas pendientes en el campo institucional. Por último, el IGVF construido es un indicador sintético de riesgo fiscal, siendo una herramienta potencialmente útil para el diseño de estrategias de política fiscal.
