EXCHANGE RATES, pg. 1 MK, p 128 – HEADING: Gold convertibility The Bretton-Woods Agreement of 1944 established fixed exchange rates, defined in terms of gold and the US dollar. Between 1944 and 1971 many currencies were pegged against the US dollar, i.e. their parities with the US dolar were fixed. One US dollar was a promissory note issued by the US Tresury and could be exchanged for 1/35th of an ounce of gold. Under this system, fixed exchange rates could only be adjusted (revalued or devalued )with the agreement of the International Monetary Fund.

Pg. 2 – heading: Market forces Most western countries have had floating exchange rates ever since This means that exchange rates are determined by the market forces - the quantities bought and sold. If demand exceeds supply, the price will rise; if supply exceeds demand, the price of a currency will fall. Milton Friedman, for example, was a proponent of freely floating exchange rates. He argued that currencies would automatically settle at stable rates which would reflect underlying economic conditions. However, proponents of freely floating exchange rates underestimated the impact of speculation.

Read pg. 3 & match with a heading PPP stands for _______ _______ ______. Purchasing power – the ability to buy things Parity – the state of being the same or equal If HRK and GBP have PPP, an amount of HRK needed to buy particular goods in Croatia will buy ________ amount of goods in the United Kingdom when exchanged into GBP.

Pg. 3 – heading: Parity and speculation PPP stands for purchasing power parity. Purchasing power – the ability to buy things Parity – the state of being the same or equal If HRK and GBP have PPP, an amount of HRK needed to buy particular goods in Croatia will buy the same amount of goods in the United Kingdom when exchanged into GBP. If floating exchange rates gave PPP, the cost of a given selection of goods would be the same in different countries. Floating exchange rates do not give PPP because of currency speculations. As much as 95% of world’s currency transactions are purely speculative.

What is the law of one price?
