Abstract

En este documento se caracteriza la política fiscal en Colombia a partir de la valoración de los tres aspectos más relevantes desde la perspectiva macroeconómica: su posición frente al ciclo, su volatilidad y la sostenibilidad de la deuda. Los resultados encontrados se comparan a nivel internacional. Adicionalmente se analiza la postura de la autoridad fiscal frente a la crisis internacional y se evalúan dos escenarios sobre sus posibles repercusiones. Utilizando una regla de política se encuentra que la política discrecional del gobierno ha sido procíclica en el mediano y largo plazo, que ha reducido su volatilidad en los últimos años y que ha sido consecuente con la condición de sostenibilidad. La evidencia indica que hasta ahora la autoridad fiscal no ha diseñado un programa contra-cíclico para compensar los efectos de la crisis y que espera que operen los estabilizadores automáticos en la recuperación para superar los desajustes que se presenten en la actual coyuntura. En el corto y mediano plazo las finanzas del gobierno nacional sufrirán un apreciable deterioro, por la caída en la actividad económica: sus ingresos se podrían contraer, en términos reales, entre -3% y -4,5% en 2010, el balance primario será negativo hasta 2011 (oscilará entre -0,8% y -1,5% del PIB) y la deuda alcanzaría niveles cercanos a los registrados a comienzos de la década.
