Download or read book Is the Exchange Rate a Shock Absorber the Case of Sweden written by Mr.Alun H. Thomas and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses a structural vector autoregression representation of the Mundell-Flemming model to analyze the determinants of movements in Sweden’s real exchange rate. It finds that, while (supply and demand) shocks account for over 60 percent of the forecast error variance, comparable to several Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries, demand shocks account for a higher fraction of these real shocks in Sweden than in those core countries. If real demand shocks result from controllable macroeconomic policies, the cost of relinquishing the exchange rate is no higher, and may be lower, for Sweden than for most core EMU countries.

Download or read book China s Evolving Exchange Rate Regime written by Mr.Sonali Das and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s exchange rate regime has undergone gradual reform since the move away from a fixed exchange rate in 2005. The renminbi has become more flexible over time but is still carefully managed, and depth and liquidity in the onshore FX market is relatively low compared to other countries with de jure floating currencies. Allowing a greater role for market forces within the existing regime, and greater two-way flexibility of the exchange rate, are important steps to build on the progress already made. This should be complemented by further steps to develop the FX market, improve FX risk management, and modernize the monetary policy framework.

Download or read book Scotland Analysis written by Great Britain: H.M. Treasury and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK Government is undertaking a major cross-government programme of analysis prior to the referendum on Scottish independence in 2014. The aim is to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Scotland's place in the UK. This paper examines how Scotland might arrange its currency and wider macroeconomic framework. It reviews the current UK arrangements and examines the options for change. In the event of a vote for independence Scotland would have to establish its own institutional framework, and the current system of risk-sharing would end. An independent Scottish state would have four main currency options: continue to use sterling with a formal agreement with the continuing UK (a sterling currency union); use sterling unilaterally with no formal agreement ('sterlingisation'); join the euro; or introduce a new Scottish currency. This paper examines all these options and concludes that all of them would be less likely to be economically suitable for both Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work takes into consideration ONLY a particular field (cut) of monetary policy that regards the historical context of the monetary debate on fixed versus flexible exchange rates from the early fifties (of the 20th century) to the recent years, or exactly from the ?case for a flexible exchange rates? to the creation of ?optimum currency areas? and monetary unions and the most recent events of the financial crisis in the 1990s and the unconventional monetary policies used during and after the 2008-9 financial crisis. A number of tables and charts will help the reader have a clear idea about the advantages and disadvantages of having a fixed and flexible exchange rates system. The fundamental idea that has pushed me to choose this object of study moves from that relation always complex and changing between the factors and aspects that have heated up the monetary debate on fixed versus flexible exchange rates for decades and how the countries have chosen the right system based on their specific conditions and macroeconomic structure. This research among others focuses on the monetary crises that occurred in the 1990s and early 2000s where several countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin America experienced some unprecedented currency crisis as a result of the effects of quick liberalization and globalization. Moreover it illustrates also some of the factors the contributed to the 2008 financial crisis that hit the U.S. and Eurozone and the post monetary events of the crisis. The financial crisis of 2008-9 demonstrated that unconventional monetary policies can be used to fix part of the economy in recession. In fact, a number of central banks in industrialized countries were forced to pursue unconventional monetary policies such a quantitative easing, very low interest rates, and escape from balance sheet recession to input money in the system and keep the economy running. The Brexit event in Europe with all it consequences is another topic that will be explored in this work.
Download or read book Renminbi Internationalization written by Barry Eichengreen and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Asian Development Bank Institute publication Meet the next global currency: the Chinese renminbi, or the "redback." Following the global financial crisis of 2008, China's major monetary policy objective is the internationalization of the renminbi, that is, to create an inter-national role for its currency akin to the international role currently played by the U.S. dollar. Renminbi internationalization is a hot topic, for good reason. It is, essentially, a window onto the Chinese government's aspirations and the larger process of economic and financial transformation. Making the renminbi a global currency requires rebalancing the Chinese economy, developing the country's financial markets and opening them to the rest of the world, and moving to a more flexible exchange rate. In other words, the internationalization of the renminbi is a monetary and financial issue with much broader supra-monetary and financial implications. This book offers a new perspective on the larger issues of economic, financial, and institutional change in what will eventually be the world's largest economy.
