Imacec | Actividad económica sorprende positivamente en diciembre

  • En diciembre, la actividad económica (medida por el Imacec) disminuyó 1% a/a, sorprendiendo al alza al mercado (EEE: -2,7%).
  • La serie desestacionalizada creció 0,4% m/m.
  • La categoría servicios lideró las alzas y comercio registró su cuarto incremento mensual consecutivo en la serie desestacionalizada.
  • En nuestra opinión, esto entrega espacio adicional al Banco Central para no realizar un recorte de tasas en su reunión de abril.

Los datos de actividad económica de diciembre muestran una desaceleración más lenta que la esperada. La serie original del Índice Mensual de Actividad Económica (Imacec) cayó 1% respecto de diciembre de 2021 (a/a), por debajo de lo que esperaba el mercado: -2,7% de acuerdo con la Encuesta de Expectativas Económicas del Banco Central. Diciembre es el cuarto mes consecutivo donde la variación anual ha sido negativa. Por otro lado, la serie desestacionalizada creció 0,4% respecto del mes de noviembre (m/m).


Destaca la contribución positiva de la categoría servicios (2,3% a/a y 0,76% m/m desestacionalizado) a la actividad mensual y el reciente desempeño del comercio (0,25% m/m desestacionalizado), que registra su cuarta alza consecutiva en la serie desestacionalizada. Si bien el comercio tuvo una caída anual en la serie original, esto se debe a la alta base de comparación producto de la inusual disponibilidad de liquidez hacia fines de 2021 (“sobrecalentamiento económico”). Por esto, consideramos que no estamos en presencia de una desaceleración fuerte en dicha categoría.


En nuestra opinión, la actividad económica de diciembre le entrega espacio adicional al Banco Central para mantener la Tasa de Política Monetaria (TPM) en su nivel actual en la siguiente reunión si las cifras de inflación continuaran siendo altas. Por altas entendemos tasas interanuales que estén lejos de la meta del 3% (por ejemplo, que dupliquen dicha meta). En ese sentido, creemos que el escenario más probable es que el Banco no realice un recorte a la TPM en su próxima reunión del 4 de abril. Si bien consideramos que la inflación disminuirá en los siguientes meses, los riesgos persisten y la actividad económica no ha caído tan profundamente como se esperaba. Más aún, la brusca caída del tipo de cambio también contribuirá significativamente a reducir la tasa de inflación. Finalmente, la reciente apertura de China podría traer beneficios adicionales en los próximos meses, ayudando al sector exportador y contribuyendo a mantener el tipo de cambio en niveles bajos respecto del promedio observado en 2022.
