Solution

The market forces influencing the exchange rate are not fully operational under a Fixed exchange rate system.

Here's why:

  1. In a floating exchange rate system, the value of a currency is determined by the supply and demand for that currency in the international foreign exchange market. If demand for a currency is high, its value will increase, and if demand is low, its value will decrease. Market forces are fully operational in this system.

  2. A speculative attack on the market can influence the exchange rate, but it doesn't prevent market forces from operating. It's a situation where traders speculate on the value of the currency, which can cause fluctuations in the exchange rate.

  3. In a fixed exchange rate system, the value of a currency is pegged to the value of another currency or a basket of currencies. The central bank maintains this peg by intervening in the foreign exchange market, for example by buying or selling its own currency. Therefore, the exchange rate is not determined by market forces but by the central bank.

  4. Current regulations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) do not prevent market forces from determining exchange rates. The IMF promotes exchange rate stability and an open system of international payments, but it doesn't set exchange rates.
