Currency Rate System
by Ahmad Medapri
Takushoku University
Tokyo-Japan
2
History
• In 1821-1914Most of the World's currencies were redeemable into gold. (i.e. you could
"cash in" your paper notes for predefined weights of gold coin).
• Britain was the first to officially adopt this system in 1821 and was followed by other
key countries during 1870s.
• The result was a global economy connected by the common use of gold as money.
• Close to the end of World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement was signed. Since the
impact of the Great Depression was still fresh in the minds of the policymakers, they
wanted to shun all possibilities of a similar fiasco. The Bretton Woods Agreement
founded a system of fixed exchange rates in which the currencies of all countries were
pegged to the US dollar, which in turn was based on the gold standard.
• By 1970, the existing exchange rate system was already under threat. The Nixon-led US
government suspended the convertibility of the national currency into gold. The
supply of the US dollar had exceeded its demand.
• In 1971, the Smithsonian Agreement was signed. For the first time in exchange rate
history, the market forces of supply and demand began to determine the exchange
rate. IMG

Three main categories of exchange rate regimes
1. Flexible Exchange Rate Systems
2. Managed Floating
3. Fixed Exchange-rate System
4
Flexible Exchange Rate Systems
• The value of the currency is determined by the market, ex. by the
interactions of thousands of banks, firms and other institutions
seeking to buy and sell currency for purposes of transactions
clearing, hedging, arbitrage and speculation.
• So higher demand for a currency, all else equal, would lead to an
appreciation of the currency. Lower demand, all else equal, would
lead to a depreciation of the currency. An increase in the supply of a
currency, all else equal, will lead to a depreciation of that currency
while a decrease in supply, all else equal, will lead to an
appreciation.
• Most OECD countries have flexible exchange rate systems: the U.S.,
Canada, Australia, Britain, and the European Monetary Union.
5
Managed Floating
• A floating exchange rate in which a government intervenes at some
frequency to change the direction of the float by buying or selling
currencies. Often, the local government makes this intervention,
but this is not always the case. For example, in 1994, the American
government bought large quantities of Mexican pesos to stop the
rapid loss of the peso's value.
• The central bank does not have an explicit set value for the
currency; it also doesn’t allow the market to freely determine the
value of the currency.
• Example: Suppose that Thailand had a managed floating rate
system and that the Thai central bank wants to keep the value of
the Baht close to 25 Baht/$. In a managed floating regime, the Thai
central bank is willing to tolerate small fluctuations in the exchange
rate (say from 24.75 to 25.25) without getting involved in the
market.
6
Fixed Exchange-rate System
• A system whereby the exchange rates of the member
countries were fixed against the U.S. dollar, with the
dollar in turn worth a fixed amount of gold.
• Governments try to keep the value of their currencies
constant against one another.
• A country’s government decides the worth of its
currency in terms of either a fixed weight of gold, a
fixed amount of another currency or a basket of other
currencies.
• The central bank of a country remains committed at all
times to buy and sell its currency at a fixed price.
• The central bank provides foreign currency needed to
finance payments imbalances.

1. Exchange Arrangements with No Separate Legal
Tender
2. Currency Board Arrangements
3. Other Conventional Fixed Peg Arrangements
4. Pegged Exchange Rates within Horizontal Bands
5. Crawling Pegs
6. Exchange Rates within Crawling Bands
7. Managed Floating with No Predetermined Path for the
Exchange Rate
8. Independently Floating
De Facto Classification of Exchange
Rate Regimes and Monetary Policy
Frameworks (IMF, 2008)
8
Exchange Arrangements with No Separate
Legal Tender
• The currency of another country circulates as the
sole legal tender (formal dollarization)
• the member belongs to a monetary or currency
union in which the same legal tender is shared by the
members of the union.
• It implies the complete surrender of the monetary
authorities' independent control over domestic
monetary policy.
9
Currency Board Arrangements
• Based on an explicit legislative commitment to exchange
domestic currency for a specified foreign currency at a fixed
exchange rate, combined with restrictions on the issuing
authority to ensure the fulfillment of its legal obligation.
• Domestic currency will be issued only against foreign
exchange and that it remains fully backed by foreign assets,
eliminating traditional central bank functions, such as
monetary control and lender-of-last-resort, and leaving little
scope for discretionary monetary policy.
• Some flexibility may still be afforded, depending on how strict
the banking rules of the currency board arrangement.
10
Other Conventional Fixed Peg Arrangements
• The country (formally or de facto) pegs its currency at a fixed rate to another currency or a
basket of currencies, where the basket is formed from the currencies of major trading or
financial partners and weights reflect the geographical distribution of trade, services, or
capital flows.
• The currency composites can also be standardized, as in the case of the SDR. There is no
commitment to keep the parity irrevocably. The exchange rate may fluctuate within narrow
margins of less than ±1 percent around a central rate-or the maximum and minimum value
of the exchange rate may remain within a narrow margin of 2 percent-for at least three
months.
• The monetary authority stands ready to maintain the fixed parity through direct intervention
(i.e., via sale/purchase of foreign exchange in the market) or indirect intervention (e.g., via
aggressive use of interest rate policy, imposition of foreign exchange regulations, exercise of
moral suasion that constrains foreign exchange activity, or through intervention by other
public institutions).
• Flexibility of monetary policy, though limited, is greater than in the case of exchange
arrangements with no separate legal tender and currency boards because traditional central
banking functions are still possible, and the monetary authority can adjust the level of the
exchange rate, although relatively infrequently.
11
Pegged Exchange Rates within Horizontal Bands
• The value of the currency is maintained within
certain margins of fluctuation of at least ±1 percent
around a fixed central rate or the margin between
the maximum and minimum value of the exchange
rate exceeds 2 percent.
• It also includes arrangements of countries in the
exchange rate mechanism (ERM) of the European
Monetary System (EMS) that was replaced with the
ERM II on January 1, 1999.
• There is a limited degree of monetary policy
discretion, depending on the band width.
12
Crawling Pegs
• The currency is adjusted periodically in small amounts at a
fixed rate or in response to changes in selective quantitative
indicators, such as past inflation differentials vis-à-vis major
trading partners, differentials between the inflation target
and expected inflation in major trading partners, and so forth.
• The rate of crawl can be set to generate inflation-adjusted
changes in the exchange rate (backward looking), or set at a
preannounced fixed rate and/or below the projected inflation
differentials (forward looking).
• Maintaining a crawling peg imposes constraints on monetary
policy in a manner similar to a fixed peg system.
13
Exchange Rates within Crawling Bands
• The currency is maintained within certain fluctuation margins of at least
±1 percent around a central rate-or the margin between the maximum
and minimum value of the exchange rate exceeds 2 percent-and the
central rate or margins are adjusted periodically at a fixed rate or in
response to changes in selective quantitative indicators.
• The degree of exchange rate flexibility is a function of the band width.
Bands are either symmetric around a crawling central parity or widen
gradually with an asymmetric choice of the crawl of upper and lower
bands (in the latter case, there may be no preannounced central rate).
• The commitment to maintain the exchange rate within the band imposes
constraints on monetary policy, with the degree of policy independence
being a function of the band width.
14
Managed Floating with No Predetermined Path for
the Exchange Rate
• The monetary authority attempts to influence
the exchange rate without having a specific
exchange rate path or target.
• Indicators for managing the rate are broadly
judgmental (e.g., balance of payments
position, international reserves, parallel
market developments), and adjustments may
not be automatic. Intervention may be direct
or indirect.
15
Independently Floating
The exchange rate is market-determined, with
any official foreign exchange market
intervention aimed at moderating the rate of
change and preventing undue fluctuations in
the exchange rate, rather than at establishing
a level for it.

  • 3. 3 Three main categories of exchange rate regimes 1. Flexible Exchange Rate Systems 2. Managed Floating 3. Fixed Exchange-rate System
  • 4. 4 Flexible Exchange Rate Systems • The value of the currency is determined by the market, ex. by the interactions of thousands of banks, firms and other institutions seeking to buy and sell currency for purposes of transactions clearing, hedging, arbitrage and speculation. • So higher demand for a currency, all else equal, would lead to an appreciation of the currency. Lower demand, all else equal, would lead to a depreciation of the currency. An increase in the supply of a currency, all else equal, will lead to a depreciation of that currency while a decrease in supply, all else equal, will lead to an appreciation. • Most OECD countries have flexible exchange rate systems: the U.S., Canada, Australia, Britain, and the European Monetary Union.
  • 5. 5 Managed Floating • A floating exchange rate in which a government intervenes at some frequency to change the direction of the float by buying or selling currencies. Often, the local government makes this intervention, but this is not always the case. For example, in 1994, the American government bought large quantities of Mexican pesos to stop the rapid loss of the peso's value. • The central bank does not have an explicit set value for the currency; it also doesn’t allow the market to freely determine the value of the currency. • Example: Suppose that Thailand had a managed floating rate system and that the Thai central bank wants to keep the value of the Baht close to 25 Baht/$. In a managed floating regime, the Thai central bank is willing to tolerate small fluctuations in the exchange rate (say from 24.75 to 25.25) without getting involved in the market.
  • 6. 6 Fixed Exchange-rate System • A system whereby the exchange rates of the member countries were fixed against the U.S. dollar, with the dollar in turn worth a fixed amount of gold. • Governments try to keep the value of their currencies constant against one another. • A country’s government decides the worth of its currency in terms of either a fixed weight of gold, a fixed amount of another currency or a basket of other currencies. • The central bank of a country remains committed at all times to buy and sell its currency at a fixed price. • The central bank provides foreign currency needed to finance payments imbalances.

  • 8. 8 Exchange Arrangements with No Separate Legal Tender • The currency of another country circulates as the sole legal tender (formal dollarization) • the member belongs to a monetary or currency union in which the same legal tender is shared by the members of the union. • It implies the complete surrender of the monetary authorities' independent control over domestic monetary policy.
  • 9. 9 Currency Board Arrangements • Based on an explicit legislative commitment to exchange domestic currency for a specified foreign currency at a fixed exchange rate, combined with restrictions on the issuing authority to ensure the fulfillment of its legal obligation. • Domestic currency will be issued only against foreign exchange and that it remains fully backed by foreign assets, eliminating traditional central bank functions, such as monetary control and lender-of-last-resort, and leaving little scope for discretionary monetary policy. • Some flexibility may still be afforded, depending on how strict the banking rules of the currency board arrangement.
  • 10. 10 Other Conventional Fixed Peg Arrangements • The country (formally or de facto) pegs its currency at a fixed rate to another currency or a basket of currencies, where the basket is formed from the currencies of major trading or financial partners and weights reflect the geographical distribution of trade, services, or capital flows. • The currency composites can also be standardized, as in the case of the SDR. There is no commitment to keep the parity irrevocably. The exchange rate may fluctuate within narrow margins of less than ±1 percent around a central rate-or the maximum and minimum value of the exchange rate may remain within a narrow margin of 2 percent-for at least three months. • The monetary authority stands ready to maintain the fixed parity through direct intervention (i.e., via sale/purchase of foreign exchange in the market) or indirect intervention (e.g., via aggressive use of interest rate policy, imposition of foreign exchange regulations, exercise of moral suasion that constrains foreign exchange activity, or through intervention by other public institutions). • Flexibility of monetary policy, though limited, is greater than in the case of exchange arrangements with no separate legal tender and currency boards because traditional central banking functions are still possible, and the monetary authority can adjust the level of the exchange rate, although relatively infrequently.
  • 11. 11 Pegged Exchange Rates within Horizontal Bands • The value of the currency is maintained within certain margins of fluctuation of at least ±1 percent around a fixed central rate or the margin between the maximum and minimum value of the exchange rate exceeds 2 percent. • It also includes arrangements of countries in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM) of the European Monetary System (EMS) that was replaced with the ERM II on January 1, 1999. • There is a limited degree of monetary policy discretion, depending on the band width.
  • 12. 12 Crawling Pegs • The currency is adjusted periodically in small amounts at a fixed rate or in response to changes in selective quantitative indicators, such as past inflation differentials vis-à-vis major trading partners, differentials between the inflation target and expected inflation in major trading partners, and so forth. • The rate of crawl can be set to generate inflation-adjusted changes in the exchange rate (backward looking), or set at a preannounced fixed rate and/or below the projected inflation differentials (forward looking). • Maintaining a crawling peg imposes constraints on monetary policy in a manner similar to a fixed peg system.
  • 13. 13 Exchange Rates within Crawling Bands • The currency is maintained within certain fluctuation margins of at least ±1 percent around a central rate-or the margin between the maximum and minimum value of the exchange rate exceeds 2 percent-and the central rate or margins are adjusted periodically at a fixed rate or in response to changes in selective quantitative indicators. • The degree of exchange rate flexibility is a function of the band width. Bands are either symmetric around a crawling central parity or widen gradually with an asymmetric choice of the crawl of upper and lower bands (in the latter case, there may be no preannounced central rate). • The commitment to maintain the exchange rate within the band imposes constraints on monetary policy, with the degree of policy independence being a function of the band width.
  • 14. 14 Managed Floating with No Predetermined Path for the Exchange Rate • The monetary authority attempts to influence the exchange rate without having a specific exchange rate path or target. • Indicators for managing the rate are broadly judgmental (e.g., balance of payments position, international reserves, parallel market developments), and adjustments may not be automatic. Intervention may be direct or indirect.
  • 15. 15 Independently Floating The exchange rate is market-determined, with any official foreign exchange market intervention aimed at moderating the rate of change and preventing undue fluctuations in the exchange rate, rather than at establishing a level for it.
