Seminario “Dolarización, 15 años después: Una visión integral”
Según Pablo Lucio Paredes, la dolarización que vivió el Ecuador "fue simplemente un proceso mediante el cual la moneda de uso corriente en el Ecuador deja de ser el sucre y pasa a ser el dólar. En consecuencia, todo tiene que ser expresado en la nueva moneda: salarios, precios, cuentas bancarias, etc...." (Paredes), básicamente hace referencia a cualquier proceso donde el dinero extranjero sustituya al dinero doméstico en cualquiera de sus tres funciones.

La Ing. Joyce de Ginnatta menciona que la situación en esos tiempos que el país estaba viviendo era altamente preocupante ya que la brecha fiscal tendía a aumentar en vez de reducir, además el gasto público era impresionante, la burocracia en aquellos tiempos consumían una gran parte de los ingresos del Estado y el desempleo y la delincuencia habían alcanzado niveles aterradores, por lo cual se necesitaba tomar una decisión urgente (Ginnatta).

Resulta inentendible que siendo Ecuador un país dotado de condiciones naturales envidiables en relación con otros países, haya pasado por momentos tan complicados, y lo que resulta más incomprensible aún es que no se vislumbre una solución a los mismos, debido a que todavía no permiten establecer una estrategia adecuada que origine la rehabilitación de las caducas estructuras sobre las que se levanta el país. Es imperativo cambiar el esquema macroeconómico vigente, ya que el mismo está agotado, rescatando de esta forma la fe pública del país.

En estos casos donde una nación este atravesando por una crisis económica, como por ejemplo Ecuador en esos tiempos, la Ing. Joyce de Ginnatta y su institución encontró la oportunidad en su afán de aportar con ideas tendientes a remediar la crisis que se vive actualmente, el cual cuyo objetivo es proponer un esquema aplicable que es la dolarización total de la economía, utilizando como ejemplo el modelo económico panameño. “Es hora de reemplazar el sistema de parches por otro que precisamente contrarreste uno de nuestros principales problemas como es la constante incertidumbre en todos los ámbitos; creemos que con la dolarización total se conseguirá este objetivo” (Ginnatta).

El objetivo principal y más importante de la adopción de la dolarización fue asegurar una política que propicie el crecimiento sostenido de la economía de dicho país, disminuir la inflación a un digito por lo menos y aumentar las posibilidades de empleo. Adoptando la dolarización los principales objetivos serian:

* Erradicar todo tipo de gastos públicos innecesarios, lo cual representa una pérdida ya que es una salida de bienes.

* Acoger una nueva política de eficiencia en todo el gasto público, el cual debe enfocarse primordialmente en las inversiones sociales.

* Disminuir servicios de deuda externa por medio de otros mecanismos más eficientes con el objetivo de liberar recursos para un desarrollo.

* Absolutamente toda información que este directamente relacionado con tributos debe ser de libre y fácil acceso.

* El margen de discrecionalidad de los gastos por parte del Ministerio de Finanzas no debe sobrepasar el 2% de los gastos corrientes.

* Procurar que el endeudamiento vaya dirigido esencialmente a las inversiones públicas.

* Descartar todo tipo de exoneraciones arancelarias a aquellos agentes privados y públicos.

* Aplicar un sistema tributario eficiente y equitativo. * Imponer compensaciones enfocadas a los niveles socioeconómicos bajos, y de igual manera con instituciones provenientes del sector público con el principal objetivo de evitar futuras distorsiones en el ámbito financiero de estos sectores.

* Sancionar de manera severa a aquellos responsables de haber realizado actividades delictivas relacionadas a cuestiones como administración del Gobierno, asuntos bancarios, etc.

Con respecto a las principales ventajas de adoptar el dólar como moneda oficial en Ecuador según Rodrigo Mora Carchi constan de las siguientes:

* “La inflación convergió de niveles de triples dígitos a niveles internacionales” (Carchi, 2015), en otras palabras la inflación era un punto a favor hacia la dolarización ya que se tendría mucho mas control de aquel en el medio y largo plazo.

* Un mayor control en relación a la pérdida del poder adquisitivo salarial.

* Una notable disminución sobre las tasas de interés.

* Una posición favorable para aquellos grupos indefensos gracias a la disminución de la inflación.

* Elimino aquellas probabilidades de que la población se vea afectada por pérdidas consecuentes de las variaciones del tipo de cambio.

* Ecuador se libero de fuertes deudas.

* Al comienzo de la aceptación de la dolarización, la relación que existía entre el producto interno bruto y la deuda pública era aproximadamente el 100% del PIB.

* Indicios de buenas señales relacionado a la produccion interna.
Según algunos datos expuestos por el ex ministro de finanzas Francisco Swett demuestran el efecto positivo con la aceptación de la dolarización, la cual mantuvo estable a la economía ecuatoriana, como por ejemplo: Por el lado de la inflación esta se ha reducido hasta llegar a niveles normales. Gracias al petróleo el Ecuador ha pasado por momentos de crecimiento. Se han registrado un aumento en las inversiones y en la productividad (la cual tuvo un crecimiento aproximado del 20%). Hubo grandes mejoras en el aspecto fiscal ya que la recaudación de impuesto era más eficiente con la adopción de la dolarización. Los superávit primarios y el crecimiento robusto del PIB causaron la reducción en la deuda pública (Swett, 2015).
En el otro lado de la moneda, nos podemos dar cuenta ciertos aspectos no tan favorables con la aceptación de la dolarización como por ejemplo: Se esperaba que en el mediano y largo plazo la inflación decrecerá significativamente, sin embargo, en el corto plazo la inflación había estado creciendo en magnitudes importantes, porque hay una brecha entre la tendencia de la devaluación y la tendencia de la inflación. Se esperaban incrementos de precios adicionales en ítems tales como la gasolina porque ya se encontraban aprobados en el presupuesto general del Estado en servicios públicos (electricidad, gas, teléfonos, agua potable) que en aquellos tiempos estaban subsidiados, éstos subsidios tenían que ser suprimidos para así poder tener un avance en el proceso de venta de las empresas del Estado en los mercados internacionales, pues se requería urgentemente de éstos recursos frescos para garantizar el funcionamiento regulador de la economía. Junto con éstos incrementos de precios vendrían otros incrementos como los de las tarifas de transporte público. Y un nuevo aumento general de precios derivados de los crecimientos ya mencionados.
La pérdida de poder adquisitivo de los salarios se detendría en el mediano y largo plazo en razón de los bajos niveles de inflación esperados y por que no habría más devaluaciones de la nueva unidad monetaria; el problema en esos años radicaba en un nivel demasiado bajo de los salarios debido a las gigantescas tasas de devaluación e inflación que el Ecuador había experimentado. No era posible restablecer los niveles de salarios para los empleados en el sector público debido a que el gobierno estaría atado por la necesidad de mantener el equilibrio fiscal. En el sector privado los aumentos de salarios dependían del desenvolvimiento de las empresas y de la economía en general. Las compañías grandes serian capaces de incrementar los salarios en la medida que sus negocios mejoren, pero era improbable que las pequeñas empresas puedan contar incrementos en sus salarios. Otro punto desfavorable radicaba en que el país sería altamente dependiente de los cambios en la política económica de los Estados Unidos de Norte América. Había una incertidumbre también por parte de que la exportación de bienes y servicios del Ecuador, como por ejemplo, petróleo, banano, camarones, café, cacao, y flores, son muy frágiles, y no se sabía si el país tenía la capacidad para responder a súbitas e importantes reducciones de los precios de estos bienes.
Otra desventaja radicaba en la exposición a las crisis financieras y a probables inestabilidades de los mercados financieros internacionales, y de la economía en general que pudieran ocurrir en cualquier momento. Con el proceso de dolarización iba a haber una pérdida de ingresos por concepto de señoriaje, esto de los beneficios por la impresión de la moneda local, en nuestro caso particular el Sucre. Ecuador ya no percibiría nunca más recursos por éste concepto, ya que el señoriaje será percibido por el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Para reducir la pérdida del señoriaje el Gobierno Ecuatoriano podría considerar solicitar al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, una participación por tal concepto una vez que el país llegue a estar oficialmente dolarizado.
Se especulaba que con el proceso de dolarización las empresas medianas y pequeñas enfrentarían serios problemas ya que era muy probable que ellas no tendrían la capacidad para enfrentar la estrechez del mercado doméstico, y que no serian capaces de alcanzar la eficiencia requerida para competir en los mercados internacionales, en tales condiciones, se puede estar conduciendo a la quiebra de las pequeñas empresas y a aumentar el nivel de desempleo a nivel nacional.
En Aquellos tiempos los bajos niveles salariales, y la alta tasa de cambio en relación con otras monedas era una ventaja comparativa que facilita las exportaciones a otros países especialmente a los vecinos como Perú y Colombia, pero con el paso del tiempo estas ventajas desaparecerían porque nuestra economía estaría atada al dólar. En el mediano y largo plazo seria más ventajoso importar que exportar bienes y servicios.

Bajo las circunstancias descritas, la población que se beneficiaria de la dolarización era muy poca y la distribución del ingreso seria más inequitativa que en aquellos momentos. Se estimaba que la brecha entre los ricos y los pobres se ampliará, lo cual queda demostrado en la actualidad.
Otro efecto esperado del proceso de dolarización era que las tasas de interés caigan lentamente a través del tiempo porque ya no habría más el riesgo cambiario y porque si el esquema funcionara adecuadamente la posición de riesgo país tendría a mejorar. En esos tiempos el Gobierno había decretado una conversión de tasas de interés para créditos concedidos en Sucres a su equivalente en dólares, lo cual para esa fecha las tasas de interés en dólares y su nivel para las transacciones renovadas eran entre un 20 a 30% anual. Nuevas operaciones de crédito no han sido abiertas últimamente.
Habría alguna confianza de que la fuga de capitales que se había venido dando en el país cese y que los recursos que salieron regresen, sin embargo, el mecanismo que se estaba siguiendo para descongelar los fondos congelados en Marzo del año 1999, no alimentaban la confianza del público debido a que los depósitos mayores de $4000 continuarían estando congelados al menos por tres o cinco años mas adelante, éste mecanismo revelaba que el sistema financiero no era lo suficientemente fuerte para enfrentar el proceso de dolarización. Por otra parte, las instituciones financieras internacionales y la comunidad internacional no habían dado un apoyo consistente al proceso de dolarización en el Ecuador. De cualquier manera tomaría algún tiempo para que la confianza en el sistema financiero y en la economía en general sean recuperadas.
Cabe recalcar que si la dolarización prevaleciera, la economía tendría que dirigirse a actividades productivas y no a actividades especulativas. El problema era que las actividades productivas tendrían que volcarse hacia el sector externo, porque el sector interno estaba totalmente deprimido. En estas condiciones surge el tema de la eficiencia y de la productividad. Mucho tendría que hacerse para alcanzar este requerimiento por parte del sector productivo.

Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation by Parker J. Palmer,

...and Palmer gives each of us clues to help make the process easier. His constant message throughout the book asks, “Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?” I personally found this book challenging and it made me think about my vocation as a minister as a whole. I know God has called me to the ministry, but I am still working through the fine-tuning of that calling. In other words, is God calling me to work as a pastor, missionary, youth minister, teacher, or a music worship leader? My seminary experience is helping me figure this out. However, I feel I am called to all of the above in some capacity. Regardless, of the vocational outcome the only thing I can control today is my relationship with God. I appreciate the words Palmer uses to address this and I feel it resonates my own identity. God asks us to only honor our created nature, which means our limits as well as potentials (Palmer 50). My first year of seminary has afforded me to explore what my limits are. It is obvious that I cannot do everything like I Smith 2 used to do when I was younger. Even then, I only thought I could do everything. However, I am in the process of learning what my potentials are. How am I learning this? My nature is finally matched with Gods nature and my vocation is as well. In conclusion, I enjoyed the clear honest approach that Palmer uses and the challenges he brings to the table. I hope to spend more time...

Factors of Career Choices as Determined by External Milieus

...FACTORS OF CAREER CHOICES AS DETERMINED BY EXTERNAL MILIEUS A Micro Research Paper Arabia, Lord Mark Anthony M. Villones, Wilson C. ED 4 Educational Research and Evaluation Masilang, Judy Marcia M. 22 March 2012 THE RESEARCH PROBLEM Career choice is an ongoing process, needs in-depth study, and requires much thought as it a decision that affects your future. As you learn new things you get an understanding of what you are interested in, what you would enjoy doing and what will be one of the best paying options. Career planning is a never-ending process as you gain experiences, grow, and improve. You need to give it a thought (Koonar, 2009). And there would always be a time that students will definitely begin to discern their future career. When the students reached this point, they now start to solicit ideas of what course to be selected as an embodiment of their future career. However, though most of them solicit ideas from the people who are learned in a particular discerning situation, they usually end up selecting their own choices (Polistico, 2009). When they fail to choose what their hearts desire, then would most likely shift course and end up the college level doubling the time intended for the particular course. The purpose of the study is to determine if career choice is really determined by the external milieus to which the students used to live. Furthermore, it seeks primarily to explore the extent of how these external factors could predict students’...

Wisdom Can Not Be Communicated

...“Wisdom can not be communicated” Throughout the course of Religions of the World we have explored and discussed many different religions. We have learned about various types of Gods and worship within that. Siddhartha claims that “Wisdom can not be communicated” but I feel like after taking this course I have definitely learned a lot about different religions not only through texts I have read but also through other students opinions in class. Themes that are conveyed through Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse and The Chosen by Chaim Potok are very different but they have both taught me a lesson that has helped strengthened my faith as a Catholic. Siddhartha is a very unique character and a main theme that is presented throughout the text is spirituality and enlightenment can only be found within yourself. When Siddhartha is having a conversation with Govinda and Govinda believes Siddhartha is “jesting” and wants to know more about Siddhartha’s independent ways. Govinda doesn’t really understand the fundamentals of Siddhartha’s past and how he has achieved his faith. Siddhartha powerfully responds, “I have had many thoughts but it would be difficult for me to tell you about them. But this one has impressed me, Govinda. Wisdom is not communicable…I am telling you what I have discovered. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it” (Hesse, 142). What he means by this is...

Malter And Saunders In The Chosen By Chaim Potok

...The Chosen by Chaim Potok is principally centered around two characters, Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders. Malter represents the more liberal Jews of his day, while Saunders represents the more conservative. The two are introduced by the book, but a tragic series of events involving an afternoon ball game result in a well built friendship. Both exemplify remarkable traits, but Danny is prime example of loyalty, endurance, and intelligence. At the time of The Chosen, the two sects (liberal and conservative) of practicing Jews rarely intermingled. This caused numerous difficulties and problems, especially with Danny’s father. Danny’s father disapproved of the liberal views of the Malters and eventually forbid Danny to even see him. But even...

Danny And Reuven In Chaim Potok's The Chosen

... The Chosen by Chaim Potok is a story of two boys named Reuven Malter, a traditional Orthodox Jew, and Danny Saunders, a Hasidic Jew. Danny and Reuven play against each other in a heated softball game. When Danny is up to bat, he hits the softball straight at Reuven, breaking his glasses and sending him to the hospital. Danny visits Reuven in the hospital and their friendship takes off. Some people think that this would never have actually happened and people like Danny and Reuven would never become friends. However, this plot is believable. Just because Danny and Reuven have different views on life and religion does not mean that they cannot be friends. The growth of this, believable, plot is what makes the story so interesting and fun to read. Although The Chosen didn’t have any unexpected twists, it did have twists. Reb Saunders and Mr. Malter have very different views on Zionism. After Mr. Malter gives a big speech on the topic, Reb Saunders forbids Danny from speaking to Reuven. This twist is upsetting because Reuven and Danny need each other’s help, especially in college. It would be terrible to see your best friend every day, but not be able to talk to them. Waiting for Reuven and Danny to speak again may have been upsetting, but it was also very suspenseful. This suspense was used to keep the reader interested. The most suspenseful part in The Chosen was waiting for Danny to tell his father he was going to study psychology instead of taking his place as a tsaddik...

Naturalism vs Christianity

...Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Man For many years the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer have touched many lives in the Christian community. The impact he has had and continues to have in today’s society is incredible and the reason for this paper is to examine the merits of his work and to look at his life and his particular place in Christian history by closely examining his background and historical setting, and some of his more significant works. This paper will look into Bonhoeffer’s Cost of Discipleship, and Ethics, and his Prison Correspondence. These works are important in understanding the man and as a theologian and they give an accurate picture of what it was like to live back in those times as a Christian. Despite the numerous accounts of WWII that are out there are very few that give us an account from the perspective of a Christian and the hope that all Christians can share even in the darkest of times. But before we get into his works let us take a look at some of his background. Who was Dietrich Bonhoeffer? With every great hero there must be a great villain, and in the case of Bonhoeffer there was no greater villain than the Nazi party or specifically Adolf Hitler himself. Not many people realize this but when Nazism first started it was considered a Christian movement coming from the Lutheran Church. The Nazi party tended to get much of their beliefs from the sayings of Martin Luther in his later life. Because in Luther’s later life he did come to write many anti-semantic...

Famous Creative Thinker

...Famous Creative Thinkers PHL/458 August 12, 2013 James Hal Cone and Cornel Ronald West are two individuals famous for using creative thinking to impact society and history. Hal Cone is a black theologian and Cornel West is a philosopher. This paper will focus on each individual’s unique contributions to society, ideas used to solve a specific issue, how the ideas were applied, personal and political background, creative thinking process, and a critique of their thoughts. From religion, oppression, educational segregation, and the Civil Rights movement, Hal Cone and Cornel West made a remarkable amount of progressive contributions to society. The contributions made by Hal Cone and Cornel West are often over-looked by today’s youth. Black American youth and young adults in particular have become somewhat distant form Black history because the way things appears in today’s society. What is overlooked, and should often be recapped is; without the endurance and dedication within the creative minds of these two creative thinkers, it’s possible that oppression and segregation would still remain a part of our society. Many Civil Rights leaders are responsible for the equality growth in our culture, and Hal Cone and Cornel West has been influential in ensuring Blacks continued to advance in America’s society. Both men contributed an important view to Civil Rights, and is known as leaders who changed the way...

As the popular adage goes ”No human being is an island”. As human beings we do not live in isolation, we always find ourselves in a society with other human beings. It is therefore expedient for us to know how to relate with each other so that we can make our society a very peaceful one, where everybody in the society lives in harmony.

This opportunity to go hiking was an experience that truly changed my life and how I spend time with Christ. It also helped me understand the importance of creating and implementing rules in my life that would be beneficial to my ultimate growth while at seminary. Now I understand that the “Rule of Life” assignment is more than just an assignment but actually a diagram of my plan of action with purpose and meaning behind it.
