Brazil: The Present Has Arrived

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?

Page 19: John welch

Page 19

Brazil’s Future is bright no matter what mix of policies of the next administration

 President Dilma will follow a mix from two sets of policies.

 The difference is degree of one set over the other.

 The Brazilian polity and the political elite have shown good judgment and prudence when making policy choices.

 If monetary policy does most of the work, expect continued nominal and real appreciation of the BRL, higher interest rates and slower growth.

 If fiscal policy does more of the work, expect a less strong real, lower interest rates, and higher growth.

BRAZIL’S POLICYMAKERS FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES:

Page 34: John welch

Page 34

Colombia: Good Start for Santos

Why doesn’t Colombia grow more?

Page 35: John welch

Page 35

Colombia: President Santos’ Good Start  President Juan Manuel Santos’ first year was very productive despite sending a barrage of

reform initiatives to congress.

 Congress is on its way to passing constitutional amendments on royalties and fiscal sustainability.

 The Colombian economy is rebounding strongly with growth ending 2010 at 4.5% and forecast to accelerate to above 5% in 2011.

 Inflation has rebounded along with this growth reaching 3.24% YoY in June 2011and should peak at 3.6% in 4Q 2011.

 BANREP has tightened monetary policy but has now paused the intervention rate at 4.5%. We expect the rate to end 2011 at 5%.

 The US Congress finally looks like it will ratify the free trade agreement with Colombia.

 Prospects for Colombia's future look good.

Mexico: Beat Up But Better  The Mexican economy was hit very hard by the US into recession falling 6.5% in 2009.

 The recovery is slowly moving from one based upon manufacturing and exports to services and internal demand.

 Mexican GDP is recovering and we expect growth for 2011at 4.9% and 4.5% in 2012.

 The well capitalized banking system helped Mexico weather the massive negative shock of the US financial collapse.

 The government allowed the fiscal deficit to widen but should have it back under 1% of GDP by 2012.

 Banxico should keep monetary policy on hold until 4Q 2011 and will start despite the US Fed keeping interest rates near 0%.

Page 50

Mexico: Getting Better

 Mexico grew more than 5% in 2010 and will slow down to a reasonable 3.8% in 2011.

 Inflation is well behaved but a closing output gap and maize price shocks will lead Banxico to start raising the fondeo rate in 1Q 2012.

 The recovery along with continued loose US monetary will put continuous downward pressure on USD/MXN.

 Fiscal policy is slowly tightening from a mild expansion.

 Political jockeying around the 2012 presidential election has already started, with the possibility of strange coalitions forming over the next 12 months.

Central America: Growing But Vulnerable

Inflation in Costa Rica, Elections in El Salvador, and Guatemala

Page 54: John welch

Page 54

Costa Rica: Vulnerable Stability

 With Central American growth at 4%, Costa Rica is set to grow at 4.2% in 2011 and 4.1% in 2012.

 Inflation remains relatively high at just above 6% annualized. We expect the current monetary tightening to continue through 2012, which should continue to exert downward pressure on the USD/CDC, at least in real terms.

 The government’s fiscal stance continues loose and the government faces significant opposition implementing a fiscal reform any time soon.

 The current account deficit is set to expand with the expansion of the economy and the strengthening of the currency. Tourism has recovered and traditional exports (e.g. coffee) are currently growing at 11%, mostly because of the continued rise in prices with coffee the most important.

 The twin deficits represent the main sources of vulnerability to the Costa Rican economy.

El Salvador: Overdone Negativity

 Most Wall Street analysts continue with a negative outlook for El Salvador. We are not quite so negative. Some of this negativity comes from El Salvador's slow growth rate.

 With Central American growth at 4%, El Salvador will once again underperform the region with growth at 1.7%.

 Inflation is running above 6% annualized and should end the year close to 7% as electricity prices are poised to increase.

 The government is currently pushing to bring down the fiscal deficit under the auspices of an IMF program. So far the government has outperformed its IMF targets and has not yet drawn on the SBA credit line and intends to keep it as precautionary.

 Exports have rebounded sharply, running at a rate of 25% (May). The current account deficit is expanding, mainly financed by remittances.

Page 58: John welch

Page 58

Guatemala: Elections and good export performance  Presidential elections on 11 September 2011 and retired general Otto Pérez Molina looks to win.

 With Central American growth at 4%, Guatemala is currently growing at just above 3% annualized and should end 2011 just below that.

 Exports are currently the main source of growth, increasing 27% YoY in May.

 The current account deficit is expanding, mainly financed by remittances.

 The government’s fiscal stance is improving based mainly on 19% growth in revenues. The fiscal deficit should end 2011 at 3% of GDP. The government completed an agreement with the IMF and might renew it after the election.

 Inflation is currently running at 6.4%, above the 4%-6% target range of the Banco Central de Guatemala (Banguat).

Indonesia and Vietnam:

Strong Growth and Inflation

Page 60: John welch

Page 60

Vietnam: in a tight spot between inflation and growth  Inflation remains strongly elevated, at over 23% YoY, with much of this supply-

driven. This trend should continue for the remainder of 2011 with key hard and soft commodity prices remaining elevated.

 The slowdown in global trade (particularly manufacturing) will also adversely impact the Vietnamese economy. We expect ~6% growth in 2011, compared to 6.8% in 2010.

 The combination of higher interest rates in 1H11 and higher inflation will likely weigh on private consumption and investment.

 But policymakers remain focused on growth, with the State Bank of Vietnam announcing a surprise 100bp repo rate cut in July following aggressive rate hikes in 1H11.

Page 61: John welch

Page 61

Indonesia: robust growth, and inflation concerns are manageable for now

 Robust domestic consumption and ongoing fixed investment should remain the key drivers of above-trend (~6.5%) growth in 2011.

 Headline inflation has dipped below 5% due to food and fuel subsidies, and tolerance of a significant appreciation in the rupiah. However, core inflation remains elevated.

 Bank Indonesia has lagged global peers in tightening monetary policy, but will likely leave rates on hold until year-end.

 In a nod to ongoing investor support, Indonesian asset markets continue to perform strongly. While the key stock index fell ~8% in August following global jitters, it is still averaging 22% higher than 2010.

 Structural economic reform remains a long-term challenge

 Price increase in primary commodities, especially coffee, continues to power terms of trade improvement, higher economic growth, and strong capital inflows.

 Stronger currencies and expanding current account deficits have accompanied this growth.

 Capital flows to these countries.

 Policy makers are struggling to tighten fiscal and monetary policies to soften the appreciation and the inflation impact of these favorable winds. Improved but still poor social security and other indicators.
