Abstract: Exchange rate volatility, growing foreign corporate debt, and decreasing private investment ratio are among the consequences of financialization experienced by developing countries such as Mexico. The present work analyses the combined effect of these three factors using a Stock Flow Consistent (SFC) model. It analytically explores the balance sheet effect in the non-financial corporate sector; higher foreign debt would affect private investment after episodes of real currency depreciation. To explore such mechanisms, we simulate the commodity price cycle of the early 2000s alongside the shifts in the stance of the FED in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. The scenario analysis points to a hysteresis of the Real Exchange Rate (RER) and an increase in foreign debt level.
