El régimen aumenta su colchón financiero a casi 8 mil millones de dólares
Las Reservas Internacionales Brutas continuaron aumentando en medio de la incertidumbre que genera la posible suspensión del CAFTA-DR o la imposición de aranceles de hasta el 100% por parte de Estados Unidos.
TL;DR
- Nicaragua's regime is increasing its gross international reserves (GIR) as a protective measure.
- This increase is a response to potential US sanctions, including the suspension of CAFTA-DR or high tariffs on Nicaraguan products.
- As of October, GIR stood at $7,943.4 million, consistent with 4.1 times base money coverage.
- The rise in GIR is attributed to net foreign exchange purchases, public sector accounts, and monetary deposits.
- US policies have already led to a $157 million decrease in Nicaraguan exports in the last two months due to 18% tariffs.
- A December announcement from the US Trade Representative (USTR) could suspend Nicaragua from CAFTA-DR or impose up to 100% tariffs.
