The Exchange Stabilization Fund: how it works

Abstract

The increasingly controversial Exchange Stabilization Fund is used to influence the international value of the U.S. dollar and to provide aid to foreign countries. The debate surrounding the Fund will become more informed, the authors suggest, when observers understand how to calculate the total amount of resources available to the Fund. This Economic Commentary explains how the Fund's balance sheet figures must be adjusted to produce an accurate account of those resources.
