a) Aún con \"Caja de Conversión\", que garantiza la convertibilidad de todo el circulante nacional a dólares a una paridad predeterminada, y que es de facto una dolarización disimulada, queda sin resolverse la fragilidad financiera (iliquidez) porque los bancos locales jamás lograrán depósitos a plazos largos, equiparados a los plazos de realización de sus inversiones en créditos. Esta situación prevalece en Estados Unidos, y es ilógico que no se presente en América Latina, y específicamente en Argentina. En Estados Unidos, la Reserva Federal haría lo posible por evitar una corrida bancaria al presentarse iliquidez, y de hecho lo hace; pero salvar a la banca en Argentina, y en el resto de América Latina en caso de adoptarse las \"Cajas de Conversión\" en forma general, es algo muy dudoso. A la hora de una recesión importante en Estados Unidos, los primeros en quebrar serán los bancos ilíquidos del extranjero, no los propios de E.U.


a) Even with \"Currency Boards\", which guarantee the convertibility of all money in circulation into Dollars at a predetermined rate, the problem of financial fragility (illiquidity) remains unsolved, because local banks will never be able to obtain long term deposits on a par with their credits. The United States banking system is not able to obtain these long-term deposits, so how can satellite systems be expected to do so? Specifically, how can Argentina have a financial system that is more solid than that of the United States, if it uses the same Dollars, disguised as pesos? In the United States, the Federal Reserve would do what it could to stem a bank run in the face of illiquidity, but in the rest of Latin America, its intervention, in case we adopted \"Currency Boards\", would be highly doubtful. In the face of an important recession in the United States, the illiquid foreign banks would be the first to collapse.
