This paper proposes a new explanation for the failure of Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) that rationalizes both the classic UIP puzzle and the evidence that the puzzle reverses direction at longer horizons. In the model, excess currency returns arise as compensation for endogenous fluctuations in bond convenience yield differentials. Due to the interaction of monetary and fiscal policy, the impulse response of the equilibrium convenience yield is nonmonotonic, which generates the reversal of the puzzle. The calibrated model fits exchange rate dynamics very well. I also find direct evidence linking convenience yields to excess currency returns. (JEL E43, E52, F31, F41, H63)

Subject Monetary, fiscal and debt concerns. Significance After falling to nearly 16 pesos/dollar in early March, the exchange rate stabilised, mainly due to rising domestic interest rates, which climbed to a peak of 38.0%. Monetary tightening and the deepening of the economic downturn helped to bring down inflation, which is expected to reach a monthly rate of 1.5% in the last quarter. Lower interest rates and decreasing inflation are needed to drive an economic rebound, key to the government's prospects in October 2017 mid-term elections. Impacts Dollarisation of financial liabilities will leave the economy more vulnerable to negative external shocks. The economy may show further decline in third-quarter figures. Moderating inflation and monetary and fiscal policy support are expected to help turn growth positive in 2017.
