The monetary authority on Thursday increased the yield of ‘Leliq’ bills to 40%, from a previous of 38%, although in the opinion of analysts it is a long way to be competitive against a projected inflation slightly above 50%. In turn, it created a 180-day market with the same asset and a rate of 44%.
This upward movement dragged all the rest of the rates of the domestic circuit, from interbank loans to fixed terms for large investors. It is “a very small step on a long road towards monetary and financial normalization (of the BCRA). Liquidity growth remains extraordinarily high: from a narrow monetary base to higher monetary aggregates such as ‘M3′”, said Alberto Ramos, an analyst at Goldman Sachs.
“To a large extent, the monetary authority lost the ability to control internal liquidity due to the need to cover large amounts of fiscal financing -monetization of public spending-“, he added.
The economist Gustavo Quintana stated that “the BCRA announced a rate hike, a measure in the right direction beyond the fact that it would require new rounds in order to achieve the objective of reaching positive real rates, seeking to reactivate a greater appetite for placements in pesos“, affirmed the economist Gustavo Quintana.
He added: “This is combined with an acceleration of the ‘crawling-peg’, which aims to close the ‘gap’ from the bottom up, beyond the fact that financial dollars continue to be sustained by the uncertainty due to the agreement with the IMF and the higher external volatility “.
