Understanding Different Types of Exchange Rate Systems 💵 1. Fixed Exchange Rate System ○ Currency value tied to another currency. ○ Central bank intervenes to maintain value. ○ Provides stability, limits monetary policy flexibility. ○ Example: Saudi Arabia 2. Floating Exchange Rate System ○ Currency value determined by market forces. ○ Rates fluctuate based on supply and demand. ○ Offers monetary policy flexibility but can be volatile. ○ Example: USA 3. Pegged Exchange Rate System ○ Adjusts fixed rate periodically. ○ Hybrid of fixed and floating systems. ○ Allows gradual transition to a floating system. ○ Example: Thailand 4. Managed Float Exchange Rate System ○ Currency floats with occasional central bank intervention. ○ Combines benefits of fixed and floating rates. ○ Example: India 5. Currency Board System ○ Rigid fixed rate; currency converted on demand at a fixed rate. ○ Requires foreign reserves equal to the monetary base. ○ Ensures stability but limits monetary policy flexibility. ○ Example: Hong Kong Ethiopia’s New Policy Ethiopia has started implementing a Floating Exchange Rate System.
