| | Floating exchange rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is no currency in the world whose value is absolutely and entirely determined by the foreign exchange market; in cases of extreme appreciation or depreciation, a central bank will intervene to stabilize the currency. | | | Thus, the exchange rate regimes of floating currencies may more technically be known as a managed float. | | | Hence government sets forth price ceiling and price floor allowing the currency to float beween the ceiling and floor. |

| | Supply-Side Sabbatical #3: Fixed Rates Over Floating; 06-22-01 |
| | Given a common currency or a fixed exchange-rate system, the transfer is made and both countries have no inflation and no unemployment. | | | When central banks are not required by agreement to intervene in order to support a "weak" currency, the country whose currency is weak is forced to accept the consequences of the easy-money policies that made the currency weak. | | | If this is true, it follows that when one country devalues its currency in relation to another country, prices as measured by the two currencies will adjust to compensate for the change; the nominal prices will change to maintain equal real prices. |

| | News Release: New Currency Regime of "Managed Floating Plus" Recommended for Larger Emerging Economies |
| | Currency boards and dollarization solve some problems but are impotent in dealing with Argentina-type crises characterized by recession, an overvalued real exchange rate, limited flexibility of domestic costs and prices, and too much public debt to permit countercyclical fiscal policy. | | | In addition, recent empirical work suggests that currency mismatches are the main factor driving a 'fear of floating" (since a large devaluation in the presence of significant dollar-denominated liabilities can mean widespread insolvencies in the banking and/or corporate sectors). | | | It would give them a deterrent to currency mismatching and to balance-sheet vulnerability, a much reduced fear of floating, enough monetary independence to engage in gross tuning of monetary policy to counter recessions, sufficient "flex" in the exchange rate to deal with large shifts of private capital flows, and workable nominal anchor. |

| | Comments on "Future exchange rate regimes for developing East Asia: exploring the policy options" by ... |
| | I suspect that, in a world where the major currencies are floating against each other, there are some real risks in fixing irrevocably to any one of them unless a very high proportion of the country's trade is with the country with which a currency union is sought. | | | In broad terms, our list suggests that the decision on currency union is balanced between the benefits of macroeconomic flexibility afforded by a country's own currency, versus the possible microeconomic efficiency gains of currency union, such as reduced transactions costs and exchange rate uncertainty with the partner country. | | | A second crucially important reason why floating rate regimes are less susceptible to crisis is that domestic banks tend to hedge the currency risk of the foreign borrowing they undertake. |

| | The most common type of currency swap is actually a fixed-for-floating currency swap, wherein payments in one currency at a floating rate are swapped for payments in another currency at a fixed rate. | | | Currency Swaps A currency swap involves the exchange of interest payments on debt which is denominated in different currencies. | | | Basically, the advantage of a currency swap is that a firm can borrow in the currency where it has a comparative advantage and then swap into the currency that it actually needs. |

| | While currency strategists always pay heed when countries make such announcements, the case of China is especially noteworthy for the simple fact that China’s reserves total nearly $800 Billion, 70% of which are held in USD-denominated assets. | | | Accordingly, many currency strategists believe 2006 will be a flat year for the Canadian currency, due to declining commodity prices and a stagnant economy. | | | While currency traders often discuss interest rate differentials in the context of the USD and Euro, the concept is more closely tied to movements of the Yen. |

| | For a compound derivative that has a foreign currency exchange risk component (such as a foreign currency interest rate swap), an entity is permitted at the date of initial application to separate the compound derivative into two parts: the foreign currency derivative and the remaining derivative. | | | Prior to being amended by Statement 138, Statement 133 prohibited hedge accounting for hedges of foreign currency risk of financial assets and liabilities for which transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in earnings as required by paragraph 15 of FASB Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. | | | As discussed in paragraphs 523 and 524 of the basis for conclusions, footnote 13 to paragraph 49 permits bifurcation of a compound derivative with a foreign currency exchange risk component upon initial application of Statement 133. |

| | ipedia.com: Inflation Article |
| | Supply-side economists advocate fighting inflation by fixing the exchange rate between the currency and some stable reference currency such as gold, or by reducing marginal tax rates in a floating currency regime to encourage capital formation All of these policies are achieved in practice through a process of open market operations. | | | In international currency markets such a principle is reasonably undisputed however supply side economists argue that economic expansion increases the domestic valuation of money and not just the international valuation. | | | Another school of thought on inflation comes from some economists (especially Austrian economists) who claim that the only cause of inflation is the increase of the money supply relative to the output of the economy. |
