Download or read book Foreign Exchange Intervention Rules for Central Banks A Risk based Framework written by Romain Lafarguette and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a rule for foreign exchange interventions (FXI), designed to preserve financial stability in floating exchange rate arrangements. The FXI rule addresses a market failure: the absence of hedging solution for tail exchange rate risk in the market (i.e. high volatility). Market impairment or overshoot of exchange rate between two equilibria could generate high volatility and threaten financial stability due to unhedged exposure to exchange rate risk in the economy. The rule uses the concept of Value at Risk (VaR) to define FXI triggers. While it provides to the market a hedge against tail risk, the rule allows the exchange rate to smoothly adjust to new equilibria. In addition, the rule is budget neutral over the medium term, encourages a prudent risk management in the market, and is more resilient to speculative attacks than other rules, such as fixed-volatility rules. The empirical methodology is backtested on Banco Mexico’s FXIs data between 2008 and 2016.

Download or read book Strained Relations written by Michael D. Bordo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Bordo, Owen Humpage, and Anna Schwartz explore the evolution of exchange-market policyprimarily foreign-exchange interventionin the United States. Based on decades of research with unique, heretofore confidential, data consisting of all official US foreign-exchange transactions conducted through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York between 1962 and 1995, "Strained Relations" is fundamentally a study of institutional learning and adaptation under changing circumstances, most notably the abandonment of the international gold standard. The authors narrate the economic developments, the political environment, and the bureaucratic issues that fostered this evolution. They use many economic studies of foreign-exchange-market intervention, but the book is not a survey of the voluminous literature or empirical analysis; it is primarily a historical narrative. A fact-based history of the modern dollar with the unifying perspective of how the US has tried to influence how much the dollar is worth abroad while balancing the priority of keeping inflation low at home, "Strained Relations" is an intriguing story of gold, secrets, and economic intervention."

Download or read book Balance of Payments and Exchange Rate Theories written by Norman C. Miller and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Miller provides a fresh perspective on balance of payments and exchange rate theories, including intertemporal open economy models that focus on the optimum current account. To this end, he proves that any non-zero balance of payments must always be associated with a disequilibrium in either a commodity or an asset market. In this rigorous yet readable book, important welfare and policy implications are carefully examined. Norman Miller develops a new theory of the balance of payments associated with commodity market disequilibrium, a loanable funds theory of exchange rate and a modern foreign exchange market theory of the exchange rate that incorporates capital flows.

Download or read book FX Intervention to Stabilize or Manipulate the Exchange Rate Inference from Profitability written by Mr.Damiano Sandri and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the profitability of FX swaps used by the central bank of Brazil to shed light on the rationale for FX intervention. We find that swaps are profitable in expectation, suggesting that FX intervention is used to stabilize the exchange rate in the face of temporary excessive movements rather than to manipulate it away from fundamental values. In line with this interpretation, we find that the scale of FX intervention responds to the degree of exchange rate misalignment relative to UIP conditions. We also document that intervention is more aggressive when there is less uncertainty about the medium-term level of the exchange rate and when the exchange rate is overvalued rather than undervalued.
