Latin America's problem is fiscal and not the foreign debt
The crisis unleashed by COVID19 in 2020 has been novel. It has brought with it a collapse in GDP and tax collection, an increase in average reserves of 3.8% and a rise in commodity prices.
The current economic crisis is not an external crisis but a fiscal one. The debt is a domestic problem while at the same time it combines a generous disposition of foreign currency to meet international commitments.
What has led to the misunderstanding of the problem is that the debt/GDP ratio jumped between 2019 and 2020 as a result of the contraction of the denominator - this was accompanied by an increase in fiscal deficits that have generally been financed within countries with the result of a healthy external sector and a complicated internal problem.
