Suppose that financial market participants feared a devaluation, as in part (b), and a devaluation actually occurs. The government announces that it will maintain a fixed exchange rate regime but changes the level of the fixed exchange rate to S ′ , where S ′ > S. Suppose that financial market participants believe that the government will remain committed to the new exchange rate, S ′ , and that there will be no further devaluations. What happens to the domestic interest rate after the devaluation?

Suppose that there is an expectation that domestic currency will be devalued by 3% in a month. To stop capital outflows, the annualised domestic interest rates would have to be  increased to 3%.   decreased to 3% as well.   decreased by 36%.   increased to 13%.   increased by 36%.

. Consider an economy with a fixed exchange rate, S. Through the problem, assume that the foreign interest rate, r ∗ , remains constant. (a) Suppose that financial market participants believe that the government is committed to a fixed exchange rate. What is the expected exchange rate? According to the (uncovered) interest parity condition, what is the domestic interest rate?

Therefore, according to the uncovered interest parity condition, the domestic interest rate should be equal to the foreign interest rate (r*). If the domestic interest rate were higher than the foreign interest rate, investors would buy the domestic currency to take advantage of the higher interest rate, which would put upward pressure on the domestic currency and violate the fixed exchange rate.

Assume the interest parity condition holds and that the foreign interest rate is equal to the domestic interest rate. A reduction in the foreign interest rate will causeGroup of answer choicesa decrease in the nominal exchange rate.an increase in the nominal exchange rate.an expected appreciation of the domestic currency.none of the above

According to the Mundell-Fleming Model, which of the following statements is true?This is a multi answer question. You can select one or more options as the answer.A.In a flexible exchange rate system, an increase in the interest rate will lead to an appreciation of the domestic currency.B.An increase in government spending in a small open economy will always lead to a depreciation of currency.C.Under fixed exchange rates, a decrease in the money supply will result in a depreciation of currency.D.In a closed economy, changes in fiscal and monetary policy have no impact on the exchange rate.
