Manuel Sutherland: “Crisis económica explotará en 2016” Manuel Sutherland: "Economic crisis will explode in 2016"
Entrevistado por Carlos Díaz
Diciembre 28 de 2015.-"La
crisis económica es la madre de la derrota que sufrió el gobierno en las
elecciones parlamentarias del 6D", aseguró Manuel Sutherland, economista
egresado de la Universidad Central de Venezuela e investigador, en entrevista
con La Razón.
"El país votó por la MUD
para revertir la espantosa situación económica", agregó. "Fue un
grito para que mejore la economía, sin embargo, las decisiones en esta materia
no le corresponden a la Asamblea Nacional (AN)", indicó.
Sutherland destacó que la crisis
económica se ha tornado demasiado fuerte y eso hace imposible que cualquier
gobierno o parlamento pueda recibir apoyo electoral. "La oposición nunca
imaginó que iba a obtener una cantidad extremadamente grande de votos",
acotó.
El presidente Maduro dijo que la
guerra económica había triunfado el 6D, ¿qué opina usted?
El gobierno sigue con una idea
equivocada de la crisis, de hecho, la niega y se inventa la tesis de la guerra
económica. Esto no tiene ningún sustento práctico ni empírico. Si insisten con
el tema de la guerra económica, es poco probable que arreglen todos los
problemas más difíciles que enfrenta la nación.
La economía podría empeorar
¿Cuáles son los principales problemas económicos de Venezuela?
El principal problema económico
es la masiva fuga de capitales. Venezuela es el país con la mayor fuga de
capitales en el mundo en relación al tamaño de su Producto Interno Bruto. El
total de esa fuga en los últimos quince años se calcula en 300 mil millones de
dólares y esto ha destrozado el respaldo en divisas de nuestra moneda. A medida
que no hay contraprestación de esa fuga, la moneda pierde valor y esto se
expresa en el aumento de los precios de los bienes, es decir, inflación.
¿El alto circulante de dinero afecta a la inflación?
La política del gobierno ha sido
la monetización del déficit. Desde el año 1999 hasta 2015 la base monetaria ha
aumentado en 17 mil por ciento. Toda esa cantidad de dinero es inorgánico y eso
destroza el poder adquisitivo y hace que los precios de las mercancías se
disparen.
¿Cómo está perjudicando la inflación al salario de los trabajadores?
La inflación, evidentemente, se
ha comido el salario promedio de la población y ha ido junto al crecimiento de
la escasez de alimentos, medicinas y bienes. Es más rentable para los
empresarios el vender sus productos a los buhoneros y clínicas que colocarlos a
precios regulados en los supermercados. Por tanto, no hay disponibilidad de
mercancías reguladas. A esto se une el bachaqueo, una actividad que consiste en
comprar mercancía regulada para luego venderla a precios de mercado. Esto crea
una situación explosiva que, tomando en cuenta como viene la economía, podría
empeorar.
2016 será mucho peor
¿Qué le espera al país si los precios del crudo siguen cayendo?
Se prevé que el año que viene los
precios del petróleo sigan bajando, por tanto, los ingresos del país. Pasará lo
mismo con los ingresos de los tributos debido a la contracción tremendamente
severa que sufrirá la economía venezolana.
Si, en realidad, se trata de una guerra económica, ¿el gobierno está
trabajando para derrotarla?
Es, simplemente un cuento de
camino. El gobierno debe entender que la base de su derrota es el tema
económico. Es lo fundamental que tiene que resolver todo gobierno. Asimismo, el
proceso de acumulación de capitales está actualmente en crisis. Considero que
esta es la crisis económica más grave en la historia de la República y creo que
terminará de explotar en el año 2016. Desgraciadamente, el gobierno se niega a
reconocer la magnitud y profundidad de la crisis. Por tal razón, dificulto que
plantee soluciones que sean radicales.
Si no se admiten la realidad, las soluciones quedan en veremos, ¿qué
nos espera para el 2016?
Si el gobierno y los economistas
que lo asesoran continúan pensando que se trata de una conspiración mundial,
estarían demostrando que no entienden sobre la verdadera naturaleza los
problemas económicos. Por ende, no podrían plantear planes para resolverlos.
Repito, estamos ante la crisis más profunda que ha tenido el modo de producción
capitalista en nuestra historia. 2016 podría ser el año tope de la explosión de
esta crisis: si el 2015 fue malo el 2016 podría ser mucho peor.
¿Por qué será peor?
El ajuste macroeconómico que se
ha desarrollado no ha terminado de explotar y eso ocurrirá en 2016. Es probable
que, finalmente, se decida aumentar el precio de la gasolina porque ya no se
puede sostener; tampoco se puede sostener el tipo de cambio a 6,30 bolívares,
ni tampoco a 12, ni 50: un nuevo cambio debería estar entre 180 y 250. Esta
sería la devaluación más grande de la historia del país. Asimismo, la
liberación de los precios de mucha mercancía regulada y se disparen diez o
veinte veces por encima. Las medidas serían drásticas, se destruirían los
recientes aumentos salariales y llevarían al país a una crisis realmente severa
y lamentable.
Moratoria de la deuda
¿A cuánto llegará la inflación en 2016?
Es muy difícil preverla porque no
sabemos, oficialmente, la de 2015. Es una negación grosera no publicar las
cifras y no conocer este dato pues dificulta el estudio de esta variable para
el año que viene. La inflación podría llegar a tres dígitos largos cuando sean
liberados los precios de los productos que hoy están regulados. Si actualmente
está en 100%, el año que viene podría llegar al doble o triple.
¿Qué deben hacer el gobierno y la próxima AN para evitar esa situación?
En economía hay dos corrientes:
la liberal y la marxista. La liberal plantea el ajuste drástico de la
macroeconomía y su consecuencia es el empobrecimiento de la población que
depende de los salarios. La corriente marxista señala que es necesario subir
los precios de muchas cosas que tienen rezagos importantes y que no tienen
relación con sus costos de producción. Este incremento debe acompañarse de
medidas que no afecten de una manera tan fuerte a la población obrera;
asimismo, una distribución radical de la renta petrolera y medidas contra la
clase capitalista que ha explotado al pueblo venezolano. Los marxistas también
plantean la nacionalización de la banca y del comercio exterior, plantean una
moratoria en el pago de la deuda externa e interna por algunos años para
recuperar la economía y no condenar al hambre a millones de personas.
¿Quiénes o cuáles sectores se han enriquecido con la crisis económica y
el sufrimiento de la gente?
Ha habido muchos empresarios que
han resultado con graves pérdidas económicas durante este año. Pero, aquellos
empresarios parásitos que se dedican más a la especulación de divisas o
mercancía son quienes han sido más favorecidos con esta arquitectura financiera
demencial. Los empresarios que se han dedicado al contrabando, a pedir
préstamos al Estado para comprar productos en el mercado paralelo y luego
revenderlos, quienes se han dedicado a las importaciones fraudulentas, se han
hecho multimillonarios. Hay grandes beneficiarios de esta crisis y son
delincuentes que han recibido el apoyo de burócratas que han robado en conjunto
con estos empresarios, y todos ellos han hecho inmensas fortunas con la
necesidad de la gente de adquirir alimentos y medicinas.
La gente se retira de los empleos
¿Cómo proteger el ya deteriorado poder adquisitivo del salario de los
trabajadores?
Una medida fundamental es dejar
la impresión de dinero inorgánico, eso contribuirá a detener el aumento de la
inflación. Otra medida, como ya dije, es declarar una moratoria en el pago de
la deuda externa para invertir esas divisas en un proceso radical de
industrialización y agroindustrialización que permita crear empleos de calidad
y con salarios relativamente medianos. Asimismo, hay que tratar de lanzar
planes de inversión de infraestructura donde se pueda utilizar mano de obra
productiva. De igual manera, abandonar el otorgamiento de créditos a pequeños y
medianos empresarios y llevar esos recursos a la construcción de
infraestructura.
¿Se ha perjudicado la creación de fuentes de empleo?
Las estadísticas dicen que el
desempleo es muy bajo, ronda el 6 o 7%. Lo que pasa es que muchas personas se
han retirado de sus empleos porque el salario es demasiado bajo y, por ende, se
han ido al bachaqueo, negociación con las divisas, contrabando, compra y venta
de artículos, clientelismo con el Estado. Esta es una de las razones por las
cuales las personas no buscan empleo.
¿Es posible repatriar los capitales fugados mediante la aprobación de
una ley en la nueva AN?
Se estima que se han fugado 300
mil millones de dólares, ello equivale al PIB de un buen año petrolero, con ese
dinero que podrían construir 200 líneas del Metro de Caracas, equivale a 100
veces el valor de Sidor, a tres planes Marshall (que sirvió para reconstruir a
Europa después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial).
Giordani tomó medidas nefastas
¿Qué opina de la liberación del mercado de la divisa que decretó el
presidente Mauricio Macri en Argentina?, ¿sería positiva esa medida en
Venezuela?
Para la clase obrera esas son
medidas de corte negativo. Argentina tiene una moneda bastante débil y con esa
medida ya se produjo una devaluación del 40%. Eso reduce el poder de compra de
la clase obrera argentina y le dificulta el acceso a los alimentos y mercancías
vitales.
¿Los exministros del gobierno de Chávez y Maduro, tales como Jorge
Giordani y Héctor Navarro, tienen cuota de responsabilidad frente a la crisis
económica que vive Venezuela?
Giordani es, de alguna forma,
responsable de medidas económicas realmente desastrosas. Fue ministro de
Planificación y Economía y Finanzas, y estuvo muchos años al frente de la
dirección de la economía nacional. No tomó las medidas necesarias sino las más
nefastas, y nunca levantó su voz para protestarlas o tratar de cambiarlas. Que
ahora exprese de manera tardía sus críticas no lo exime de su responsabilidad
"La corrupción es un cáncer"
¿Se avanzó en la consolidación de una economía socialista en Venezuela?
No hay ningún avance importante
en la creación de una economía alternativa que desplace a la economía
capitalista. Se ha confundido la economía socialista con los gallineros
verticales, comunas y conucos, y esto se denomina pequeña producción mercantil.
Esta no será socialista ni tiene nada que ver con el proyecto revolucionario.
¿El Parlamento Comunal debe tener participación en el mejoramiento de
la economía nacional?
Las comunas deben organizarse
mejor y de manera más formal para impulsar un parlamento que recoja las
propuestas de la población que vive y construye comunas. Ahora, las comunas no
tienen potencialidad económica para desarrollar industrialmente al país ni
tampoco la producción de manera importante. Las comunas son pequeñas unidades
de producción mercantil con escalas muy pequeñas.
¿Combatir la corrupción es fundamental para el reajuste económico?
La corrupción es un cáncer brutal
que sufre el país. Este flagelo se ha masificando, estandarizando y hasta
legalizando. Lo peor de la corrupción se expresa en la fuga de divisas,
recursos que pueden invertirse en la producción industrial, infraestructura y
construcción de viviendas. Hay que buscar formas para hacer más transparente y
auditable al gobierno y también a las empresas privadas.

Interviewed by Carlos Diaz
December 28, 2015 .- "The economic crisis is the mother of the defeat suffered by the government in parliamentary elections 6D" said Manuel Sutherland, graduated economist at the Central University of Venezuela and researcher, in an interview with La Razon.
"The country voted for MUD to reverse the dreadful economic situation," he added. "It was a cry for the economy improves, however, decisions in this area do not belong to the National Assembly (AN)," he said.
Sutherland stressed that the economic crisis has become too strong and that makes it impossible for any government or parliament can receive electoral support. "The opposition never imagined that I would get an extremely large amount of votes," he said.
President Maduro said he had won the economic war 6D, what do you think?
The government continues with the wrong idea of the crisis, in fact, denies and economic warfare thesis is invented. This makes no practical or empirical support. If you insist on the issue of economic war, it is unlikely to fix all the most difficult problems facing the nation.
The economy could worsen
What are the main economic problems of Venezuela?
The main economic problem is the massive capital flight. Venezuela is the country with the largest capital flight in the world relative to the size of its GDP. The total of the leak in the last fifteen years is estimated at 300 billion dollars and this has broken the support of our foreign exchange currency. As there is no consideration of that leak, the currency loses value and this is expressed in the increase in prices of goods, ie, inflation.
Does high money supply affects inflation?
Government policy has been the monetization of the deficit. From 1999 to 2015, the monetary base has increased by 17,000 percent. All that money is inorganic and that destroys the purchasing power and makes commodity prices soar.
How inflation is hurting workers' wages?
Inflation obviously has eaten the average salary of the population and gone along with the growth of the shortage of food, medicine and goods. It is more profitable for entrepreneurs to sell their products to peddlers and clinics that place them at regulated prices in supermarkets. Therefore, there is no availability of regulated goods. This is coupled with the bachaqueo, an activity that is regulated buy and then sell goods at market prices. This creates an explosive situation, taking into account as is the economy could get worse.
2016 will be much worse
What awaits the country if oil prices continue to fall?
It is expected that next year oil prices continue to fall, therefore, the country's income. It will be the same with the income taxes due to the extremely severe contraction that the Venezuelan economy will suffer.
If, indeed, this is an economic war, the government is working to defeat it?
It is simply a fairy path. The government must understand that the basis of his defeat is the economic issue. It is essential that any government has to solve. Also, the process of capital accumulation is currently in crisis. I think this is the most serious in the history of the Republic economic crisis and I believe that will end exploitation in 2016. Unfortunately, the government refuses to acknowledge the magnitude and depth of the crisis. For this reason, I difficult to raise solutions that are radical.
If reality is not allowed, the solutions are in see what awaits us in 2016?
If the government and economists who advise continue to think that this is a global conspiracy, they would be showing that they do not understand the true nature of the economic problems. Therefore, they could not pose plans to solve them. I repeat, we are facing the deepest crisis has been the capitalist mode of production in our history. 2016 could be the year top of the explosion of the crisis: if 2015 was bad in 2016 could be much worse.
Why is worse?
The macroeconomic adjustment that has developed not over exploit and that will happen in 2016 is likely to eventually decide to increase the price of gasoline because no longer can sustain; neither can sustain the exchange rate at 6.30 bolivars, nor 12, nor 50: a new change should be between 180 and 250. This would be the biggest devaluation of the country's history. Also, the release of regulated prices of many goods and shoot ten or twenty times over. The measures would be drastic, recent wage increases would be destroyed and would lead the country into a really severe and unfortunate crisis.
Debt moratorium
How much inflation will come in 2016?
It is very difficult to foresee because they do not know, officially, the 2015 is a gross denial does not publish figures and not knowing this fact as difficult to study this variable for next year. Inflation could reach three digits long are released when the prices of products that are now regulated. If you are currently at 100%, next year could be double or triple.
What should the next government and AN to avoid this situation?
In economics there are two trends: the liberal and Marxist. The liberal raises the drastic adjustment of macroeconomics and its consequence is the impoverishment of the population dependent on wages. The Marxist says it is necessary to raise the prices of many things that have major shortcomings and unrelated to production costs. This increase should be accompanied by measures that do not affect such a strong way the working population; also a radical distribution of oil revenue and measures against the capitalist class that has exploited the Venezuelan people. Marxists also raise the nationalization of banks and foreign trade, pose a moratorium on repayment of external and domestic debt for a few years to recover the economy and not condemn the millions of people hungry.
Who or what sectors have been enriched by the economic crisis and the suffering of the people?
There have been many business that have resulted in severe economic losses this year. But those parasites are more entrepreneurs who engage in currency speculation or merchandise are those who have been favored with this crazy financial architecture. Entrepreneurs who have been dedicated to smuggling, to borrow from the state to buy products in the parallel market and then resell them, who have dedicated themselves to fraudulent imports, have become billionaires. There are big beneficiaries of this crisis and are criminals who have been supported by bureaucrats who have stolen along with these entrepreneurs, all of whom have made huge fortunes with the need for people to purchase food and medicine.
People retire from jobs
How to protect the already deteriorated purchasing power of workers' wages?
One key measure is to stop the printing of inorganic money, that will help to stop the rise in inflation. Another measure, as I said, is to declare a moratorium on payment of foreign currency debt to invest such a radical process of industrialization and agro-industrialization that allows creating quality jobs and relatively median wages. We must also try to launch infrastructure investment plans which can be used productive workforce. Similarly, leaving lending to small and medium businesses and bring those resources to the construction of infrastructure.
It has harmed the creation of jobs?
Statistics show that unemployment is very low, round 6 or 7%. What happens is that many people have been removed from their jobs because the pay is too low and, therefore, have gone to bachaqueo, with foreign exchange trading, smuggling, buying and selling items, with the state patronage. This is one of the reasons why people do not seek employment.
Is it possible to repatriate flight capital by passing a law in the new AN?
Are estimated to have fled 300 billion dollars, this is equivalent to the GDP of a good oil year, with that money you could build 200 lines of the Caracas Metro, equivalent to 100 times the value of Sidor, three Marshall Plans (which It served to rebuild Europe after World War II).
Giordani took dire measures
How do you view the market release of the currency which decreed the president Mauricio Macri in Argentina ?, it would be positive that extent Venezuela?
For the working class those are negative cutting measures. Argentina has a very weak and this measure and there was a 40% devaluation of the currency. That reduces the purchasing power of the working class and Argentina makes access to food and vital commodities.
Do the former ministers of the government of Chavez and Maduro, such as Jorge Giordani and Hector Navarro, have share of responsibility for the economic crisis in Venezuela?
Giordani is somehow responsible for really disastrous economic measures. He was Minister of Planning and Finance, and spent many years in charge of the management of the national economy. It did not take the necessary measures but the most dire, and never raised his voice to protestarlas or try to change them. Now belatedly express their criticism does not relieve him of his responsibility
"Corruption is a cancer"
Will he advanced in the consolidation of a socialist economy in Venezuela?
No breakthrough in creating an alternative economy to displace the capitalist economy. It has been confused socialist economy with vertical chicken coops, communes and conucos, and this is called small commodity. This will not be socialist and has nothing to do with the revolutionary project.
Will the communal parliament should have input in improving the national economy?
The communes should be organized better and more formally to drive parliament setting out the proposals of the population lives and build communities manner. Now, the communes have economic potential for industrial development of the country nor the production significantly. The communes are small units of commodity production with very small scales.
Can we fight corruption is essential for economic readjustment?
Corruption is a brutal cancer afflicting the country. This scourge has been massing, standardizing and legalizing up. The worst corruption is expressed in the flight of capital, resources that can be invested in industrial production, infrastructure and housing construction. We must find ways to make it more transparent and auditable government and private companies.
