| description | The rapid succession of nontrivial changes in Argentina’s exchange rate policy poses questions both on the motives which caused those changes and the effectiveness of the current regime to achieve macroeconomic objectives. Regarding this matter, this essay examines the sustainability of the managed flexible exchange rate policy currently in force in the country between December 2015 and the primary elections on August 2019, and the viability of adopting a fixed exchange rate for a certain period. The approach adopted for the analysis is that political economy of exchange rates regimes under external constraints on economic growth. At the ending date of this research, August 2019, it is concluded that a fixed exchange rate policy and a depreciated currency might be an option consistent with reaching the internal and external equilibrium of Argentinian economy until conditions are appropriate for the adoption of a flexible exchange rate regime. |

La sucesión en muy breve plazo de cambios no triviales en la política cambiaria de la Argentina plantea interrogantes tanto sobre los motivos que los originaron como sobre la eficiencia del régimen actual para lograr los objetivos de política macroeconómica. El presente ensayo examina la sostenibilidad de la política cambiaria de tipo de cambio flexible administrado vigente en el país entre diciembre de 2015 y las elecciones Primarias, Abiertas, Simultáneas y Obligatorias (PASO) de agosto de 2019, y la viabilidad de la adopción por un período determinado de un tipo de cambio fijo. El enfoque adoptado para el análisis es el de la economía política de los regímenes cambiarios bajo condiciones de restricción externa al crecimiento económico. A la fecha de redacción del ensayo, agosto de 2019, se concluye que la política cambiaria de un tipo de cambio fijo y una moneda depreciada puede ser una opción consistente con la obtención de los equilibrios internos y externos de la economía argentina hasta tanto se reúnan las condiciones para la adopción de un régimen de tipo de cambio flexible.
