Exchange rate targeting is the process through which a central bank intervenes in the market mechanism to maintain the exchange rate at a particular level that they deem as desirable. Across the inflation targeters the two with the highest average GDP growth rates are Peru (5.81%) and the Philippines (5.1%). As for exchange rate changes, three countries in the sample of non-targeters are dollarized economies: Panama (since 1904), Ecuador (2000) and El Salvador (2001). Targeting the real exchange rate in the interest rate rule is not the answer: sunspot equilibria remain a significant threat even when the coefficient on the real exchange rate is large. The right approach is to enlist the aid of a second instrument.

Many countries stabilize their exchange rate relative to some target currency. If a country removes this so-called peg to a safer currency, recent research suggests it will increase the risk and reduce the attractiveness of its currency to investors. of inflation-targeting requires countries to forego exchange rate stabilisation, finds that inflation-targeting central banks in emerging markets do in practice target (real effective) exchange rate stability in addition to using interest rate policy in accordance with Taylor rule. The study concludes
