问题如下:
A country that maintains a target exchange rate is most likely to have which outcome when its inflation rate rises above the level of the inflation rate in the target country?
选项:
A.
An increase in short-term interest rates.
B.
An increase in the domestic money supply.
C.
An increase in its foreign currency reserves.
解释:
A is correct.
Interest rates are expected to rise to protect the exchange rate target.
本国通胀上涨超过了目标国会导致本国的汇率上升。通胀上升会导致本国货币贬值,为了保证本国货币不贬值,必须实施一个紧缩的货币政策。
A选项提高短期利率入选。
B选项增加货币供给是一个扩张的货币政策,利率下降,不入选。
C选项增加外汇储备和本题无关。不入选。
我的理解是本国通胀高于目标国,那么本国物价上涨的更快,物价上涨,对于货币的需求增加,interest rate上升,所以选的A,不知道这样理解对不对。
另外利率上升,在外汇市场对本币需求上升,本国货币升值,为什么是贬值呢?
