On January 16, a new session of the next Davos Economic Forum until Friday the 20th. In anticipation of the issues to be discussed, the report was presented “The Global Risks Report 2023“, in which it corresponds that rapid and sustained inflation is a global concernwhile constituting one of the top five risks for the next two years in the 89 relevant countries in the document.
They also warned that the risks that Argentina will face this year are linked to the Sustained inflation, the debt crisis and the “collapse” of the state. They also identified other factors, such as the loss of illicit economic activity and “serious crises in the supply of raw materials.”
“It was classified as the main threat in several G20 countries, including Brazil, South Korea and Mexico, although inflationary pressures have affected both developed and developing economies,” the letter detailed. “Inflation rates exceeded 80% in Argentina and Turkey, while Zimbabwe, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic and Sudan registered triple-digit inflation,” it added.

On the other hand, the Davos Forum thought that the globalized capital flows “have the exposure of emerging markets and developing countries to rising interest rates, especially those with a high proportion of dollar-denominated debt, such as Argentina, Colombia and Indonesia.” Along these lines, he stressed that some emerging and developing markets “are feeling the impacts of the adjustment monetary policy and deteriorating economic conditions first and most sharply”.
“A generalized global recession within the year could moderate inflation and limit interest rate hikes, but there is a greater risk of a balance of payments crisis in the near term, along with a credit crunch in the medium and long term,” asserted. She even maintained that “the Larger emerging markets that exhibit higher default risk include ArgentinaEgypt, Ghana, Kenya, Tunisia, Pakistan and Turkey”.
Given this scenario, I suggested that one could encourage the private sector to participate in debt restructuring “through a variety of mechanisms, including the issuance of new bonds with stronger legal protections, loss restitution commitments, and value recovery instruments, which would allow damaged private creditors from upward developments in debtor countries in the future, such as GDP-linked instruments in Costa Rica, Argentina, Greece and Ukraine”.

The report referred to the metals market and stated: “Several developing and emerging markets have become net beneficiaries of this increased interest from both the public and private sectors, including Indonesia, Morocco and the lithium triangle of Bolivia, Argentina and Chile“.
Even so, he stressed that these countries “have had to walk a tightrope as world powers exert control through trade, investment and technological ties and seek to restrict the access of rival states.”
