Exchange Rates in a World of Capital Mobility

    (Financial Times, London)

Abstract

All exchange rate regimes create difficulties. But, painful experience has now reinforced the theoretical presumption against adjustable pegs in a world of capital account convertibility. Liberalization of the capital account has forced countries away from the middle ground toward the polar option of free-floating exchange rates, with monetary autonomy, or hard pegs, without it.
