Overview
Our annual conference in Cusco, carried out with the support of the G20 Chair France, centered around two overarching themes: The Eurozone and Capital Flows. The most striking feature of the discussion was the strong sense of how much the world had changed in a short time period. Instead of Europeans berating Latin Americans on how to solve fiscal and debt crises, it was the emerging markets giving advice to the developed countries. There was also a lot of focus on what lessons peripheral Europe could learn from the case of Argentina ten years prior. Another big topic was the involvement of the private sector currently being discussed for Greece. Additionally, the weakness of the dollar and the strength of emerging markets’ currencies were high on everyone’s mind and many emerging markets made little effort to hide their frustration with the US monetary policy. Last but not least, most participants expressed the postions that strong currency appreciation is a burden rather than a benefit.
