Experience with stabilization programs involving some kind of exchange anchor shows that, generally speaking, such plans at first generate an abrupt drop in the rate of inflation, accompanied by marked appreciation in the rate of exchange.1 The local currency appreciates as a result of differential evolution by domestic and foreign prices in a context where the nominal rate of exchange remains stable, causing the balance of payments current account to contract substantially, due principally to the increase in the value of imports. Normally, the resulting deficit is accompanied by a large capital account surplus, thus not only enabling the former to be financed, but allowing the volume of the country's international reserves to grow. The latter increase occurs as a result of the surge of foreign capital entering the country drawn by the stabilization plan's initial success, combined generally with liberal structural reforms. Higher domestic interest rates-an added attraction to external financing-are normally used to reinforce these factors still further. The introduction of tight monetary policies and greater freedom for foreign investors create an interest rate differential sufficiently large to attract arbitrage capital inflows. The increasing influx of foreign capital, however, can lead to a still greater real appreciation of the exchange rate, leading to a further increase in imports and also a downturn in exports.
