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.

For countries that use inflation targeting the rate of inflation serves as from GEN On July 1, the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar (CAD) and the US 

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

Exchange Rate: An exchange rate is the price of a nation’s currency in terms of another currency. Thus, an exchange rate has two components, the domestic currency and a foreign currency, and can
