Sumario:The paper shows that the impossibility to reach a real exchange ratetarget, as proposed by the "Monetary Trilemma" can be circumvented byadding one policy instrument. In the choice between countercyclical fiscalpolicy and control of capital movements, the first one appears as thepreferred option, since it provides a stable equilibrium.
