Zusammenfassung:The balance-of-payment crisis literature can offer the basis to understand the current economic turmoil in Brazil. According to the author's calculations, the real exchange rate requires a 15% to 20% devaluation so as to assure that the intertemporal balance-of-payments constraint is not violated. Such appreciated currency imposes a heavy burden on monetary policy: Covered interest parity implies high real domestic interest rates in order to finance the current account. Yet the existence of a large budget deficit imposes objective limits on the use of interest rates as a means to defend the currency. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)
