The first is which countries might benefit from entry into EMU before the millennium. Germany and her immediate neighbors appear the most likely to gain; however, our knowledge is too uncertain to say whether all, some, or no countries would reap net economic benefits. The second issue is how to avoid exchange rate instability in the transition to EMU. Experience from earlier exchange rate regimes suggests that an early announcement the parities at which different currencies would enter EMU could reduce such instability if governments were willing to accept the required limitations on domestic policies.

Masson and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The more advanced Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) face an evolving set of considerations in choosing their exchange rate policies. On the one hand, capital mobility is increasing, and this imposes additional constraints on fixed exchange rate regimes, while trend real appreciation makes the combination of low inflation and exchange rate stability problematic. On the other hand, the objectives of EU and eventual EMU membership make attractive a peg to the euro at some stage in the transition. The paper discusses these conflicting considerations, and considers the feasibility of an alternative monetary framework, inflation targeting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,4 (A), Oxford Brookes University (Business School), course: International Investment & Finance, language: English, abstract: Since the euro has been introduced as the common currency of the European Monetary Union (EMU) exchange rate policy-making has not been noticeably mentioned on the agenda of the European Central Bank (ECB). This work examines and explains the development of the euro since its introduction in 1999. A discussion of possible exchange rate regimes, their impacts on domestic and international trade and living standards, as well as a brief introduction on market intervention will put forward a recommendation to the ECB for its future exchange rate policy. Since most of the past currency crises emerged from monetary systems of fixed exchange rates, empirical data suggests a non fixed external regime to the EMU, even more since this allows a range of steering and counteracting opportunities. Following the Keynesian monetary theory, the forces of supply and demand are not always sufficient to guarantee a stable and sound economic environment for successful trade and growth. Therefore a free floating system of exchange rates might not be the right way for the ECB to follow its aim of price stability and competitiveness in a highly integrated area as the EU. We recommend employing an external managed floating system at a reasonably high level of currency value, i.e. purchasing power, depending on the situation of employment and export-import balance. The ECB should carefully carry out market interventions, limited by international exchange rate agreements, e.g. by the G-10 Nations summits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with exchange rate arrangements and exchange rate policies. Chapter 2 classifies exchange rates into flexible, intermediate and rigid arrangements. The book is subdivided into an arrangement of free float, managed float, pegged but adjustable, target zone, crawling peg, hard peg, currency board, dollarisation, and monetary union. This chapter also discusses hypothesis of vanishing intermediate exchange rate arrangements as well as it deals with differentiation between de jure, and de facto exchange rate arrangements. Chapter 3 deals with the issue of choosing an appropriate exchange rate arrangement. The book briefly characterises basic approaches of how to choose an exchange rate regime. Furthermore, the book reviews considerations stemming from the optimum currency area literature. Chapter 4 deals with problems of exchange rate, which were encountered by the most developed transition countries. After discussing the initial stabilisation problems of the early 1990s, it provides a general overview of the macroeconomic situation and exchange rates arrangements in these countries in the period 1990-2004. Also the book discusses issues connected with the future introduction of the euro into these countries. Chapter 5 provides the reader with two case studies. First, a discussion of the Czech experience in the transition period till the crisis in May 1997 is presented. Second, a discussion of the Hungarian experience concerning banking and exchange rate policy in the 1990s till the early years of this century. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses different historical periods from the viewpoint of currency arrangements.

This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes long-term exchange rate modeling. The paper reviews the literature that tests for a unit root in real exchange rates and the closely related work on testing for a unit root in the residual from a regression of the nominal exchange rate on relative prices. It argues that the balance of evidence is supportive of the existence of some form of long-term exchange rate relationship. The paper highlights that the form of this relationship, however, does not accord exactly with a traditional representation of the long-term exchange rate.
