  • The Choice and Design of Exchange Rate Regimes Már Gudmundsson
    The choice and design of exchange rate regimes Már Gudmundsson Introduction This paper discusses the design and management of exchange rate regimes in Africa.1 It starts by looking at the current landscape of exchange rate regimes in the region and comparing it to other regions of the world. It then discusses relevant considerations for the choice of exchange rate regimes in developing countries, including the optimal currency area, but also their limitations in a developing country context. The ability of countries to deliver disciplined macroeconomic policies inside or outside a currency union is an important consideration in that regard, along with political goals and the promotion of financial sector development and integration. The paper then proceeds to discuss in turn the management of flexible exchange rates, the design of exchange rate pegs and monetary integration. Exchange rate regimes in Africa Exchange rate regimes in Africa reflect choices made at the time of independence as well as more recent trends in exchange rate regimes of developing countries. Original exchange rate pegs in many cases evolved over time into flexible exchange rates. That development was given a further boost by the stabilisation and liberalisation programmes in the 1980s and 1990s. Former colonies of France constitute a core group in the CFA franc zone of western and central Africa, which is composed of two currency unions with a hard external peg to the euro, underpinned by the French authorities. Three neighbouring countries of South Africa are part of the rand zone, where national currencies are 1 The paper draws extensively on Masson and Pattillo (2005).
