Traditionally, theoretical literature on balance of payments crises stressed that weak economic fundamentals-such as excessively expansionary fiscal and monetary policies-resulted in a persistent loss of international reserves, ultimately forcing the authorities to abandon the fixed exchange rate parity. More recently, however, some economists have argued that the authorities may decide to abandon the parity for reasons other than a depletion of official international reserves. 2, record 17, English, - official%20international%20reserve

Tradicionalmente, en la literatura teórica sobre las crisis de balanza de pagos se insistía en que cuando las variables fundamentales son poco sólidas - por ejemplo, una política fiscal y monetaria excesivamente expansionistas - se produce una pérdida persistente de reservas internacionales que obliga a las autoridades a abandonar tarde o temprano el régimen de paridad fija.
