| | Fixed exchange rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Countries adopting a fixed exchange rate must exercise careful and strict adherence to policy imperatives, and keep a degree of confidence of the capital markets in the management of such a regime, or otherwise the peg can fail. | | | However, in certain situations, fixed exchange rates may be preferable for their greater stability. | | | In addition, fixed exchange rates deprive governments of the use of an independent domestic monetary policy to achieve internal stability. |

| | Chapter 8. Money and the Dermination of the Interest Rate |
| | So fixed exchange rate prevent countries from creating seigniorage and inflation taxes: budget deficits will have to be financed with bonds bought by the private sector because a central bank financing of the deficit will cause a persistent reduction of the foreign reserves of the central bank. | | | Alternatively, the fixed parity may not be consistent with fundamentals because the government is running a budget deficit that is financed by the central bank. | | | Moreover, under fixed rates, this lack of inflation revenues might eventually force the government to actually reduce the budget deficit through increases in taxes and cuts in government spending. |

| | Fixed Exchange Rate Systems |
| | Under a floating exchange rate system, the value of a country’s currency is determined by the supply and demand for that currency in exchange for another in a private market operated by major international banks. | | | If the currency value is set to a fixed amount of another country’s currency, then it is a reserve currency standard. | | | In contrast, in a fixed exchange rate system a country’s government announces, or decrees, what its currency will be worth in terms of “something else” and also sets up the “rules of exchange. |

| | Other variants on floating exchange rates include frequent devaluations or revaluations and a crawling peg, where the currency is allowed to depreciate periodically by a well-accepted amount or tied to an index (usually an inflation index). | | | Under a fixed exchange rate regime on the other hand, the interest rate decrease would have triggered a capital outflow, whereby the decrease in the domestic money stock would have caused the LM curve to shift back and left the economy without long term effects. | | | Under a floating exchange rate regime on the other hand, the interest rate increase would have resulted in an appreciation of the currency thus causing the IS curve to shift back and leaving the economy without long term effects. |

| | Fixed Exchange Rates |
| | However, when the fixed exchange rate leads to an excess supply of the domestic currency, then the problem can only be solved by spending reserves of foreign currency in order to mop up the excess supply of the domestic currency. | | | In the foreign exchange market for dollars this is reflected by a shift out of the supply of US dollars. | | | In the foreign exchange market, the supply of US$ increased and the dollar depreciated in value. |

| | Floating And Fixed Exchange Rates |
| | Just like the price of any asset, the exchange rate is the price at which you can buy that currency. | | | In order to maintain the local exchange rate, the central bank buys and sells its own currency on the foreign exchange market in return for the currency to which it is pegged. | | | Fixed regimes, however, can often lead to severe financial crises since a peg is difficult to maintain in the long run. |

| | Fixed rates provide greater certainty for exporters and importers and under normally circumstances there is less speculative activity - although this depends on whether the dealers in the foreign exchange markets regard a given fixed exchange rate as appropriate and credible. | | | In a fixed exchange rate system, the government (or the central bank acting on the government's behalf) intervenes in the currency market so that the exchange rate stays close to an exchange rate target. | | | Fluctuations in the exchange rate can provide an automatic adjustment for countries with a large balance of payments deficit. |

| | Other Fixed Exchange Rate Variations |
| | Since all 12 countries now share the Euro as a common currency, their exchange rates are effectively fixed to each other at a 1-1 ratio. | | | In this system the government requires that domestic currency is always exchangeable for the specific reserve at the fixed exchange rate. | | | The most extreme and convincing method for a country to fix its exchange rate is to give up one’s national currency and adopt the currency of another country. |

| | Omar rejects fixed exchange rate - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM |
| | According to the finance minister, a fixed exchange regime had costs, and "a critical one relates to the removal of flexibility to respond to domestic and external shocks". | | | Seaga, in his presentation, had told Parliament that a strong case existed to examine the option of either a currency board with a fixed rate of exchange, or an independent Central Bank with a special regime to maintain a pegged rate, "as the means of ending the frustrations of a stagnant, debt-ridden economy". | | | In Jamaica's case, the finance minister said that while it was true that the fixed exchange rate brought about increased stability, the policy was relevant for a decreasing percentage of the economy. |

| | He said that, in addition to low interest and inflation rates, the figures also showed that all the countries which had high incomes, or upper middle incomes, used fixed exchange rates pegged to an international currency, as against those with flexible rates, and other versions that are not fixed, including Jamaica. | | | He argued that a fixed rate would reduce the capacity for flip-flopping monetary policy and create fiscal stability and a fall in interest rates. | | | The Opposition leader made the call for a fixed exchange rate during his presentation to Parliament in the 2004/2005 budget debate. |

| | Forex Blog: The virtues of a fixed exchange rate |
| | Fixed exchange rate regimes, on the other hand, are impervious to government manipulation, because they are artificially held in place, even when a country's money supply changes. | | | The crux of his argument was that currency markets are inherently imperfect, as the prices (exchange rates) are determined by governments, who control the supply of money. | | | He argues that national governments monopolize the supply of money, and are thus able to manipulate their exchange rate. |

| | Given the need for foreign capital and the inevitable trade deficit it entails, permitting the price mechanism of floating exchange rates to determine how that trade deficit is to be achieved is the most equitable, and certainly the most efficient, means of getting a very difficult job done. | | | In today's world, a fixed rate or targeted range for currency in international capital markets can last for only so long as market forces agree with it. | | | Surely, such an appraisal of the facts is not meant to deny that there are substantial economic costs resulting from the high dollar. |

| | ASIL Insights: China’s Fixed Exchange Rate for the Yuan |
| | Indeed, one cannot reject the hypothesis that the provision or the conversion of foreign currency at a fixed rate could be perceived as equivalent to a service given by the Chinese government or by bodies entrusted by it. | | | For example, if a firm receives a government loan at an interest rate that is lower than the rate charged by private banks in the country of the firm, a benefit will have been conferred upon the recipient firm. | | | There is no currency exchange market in China or elsewhere for the Yuan where its value is determined by the interaction of the forces of supply and demand. |
