Resumo

Object of this paper is to examine the options for monetary integration In the Andean Community,in the context of existing literature on the subject. After a survey of the relevant literature, some ;stylised facts of the Andean Community are examined. Optimum Currency Area criteria are con-/sidered, as are some indictors of fear of floating and dollarization within the region. I argue thatthe traditional literature on monetary integration has been developed largely with the intent ofexplaining integration in Europe, and to consider instead monetary integration In Latin Americawe need a new framework, one that takes into account the particular characteristics of theseeconomies: fear of floating, original sin, dollarization, and large and volatile capital flows, subjectto financial contagion and sudden stops. In conclusion I examine the pros and cons of three possibleoptions available to the Andean Community: mutual exchange rate pegging, a common regionalcurrency and dollarization.
