Section I of this bulletin gives a list, in alphabetical order by name of country, of the official basic units of currency .and the appropri~te currency abbte~iations. The countries listed'are_States Members of fhe Unifed Nations, members of specialized agencies or parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice. The currencies listed are those officially in use as at 29 March 1991 and may be subject to change. Section II of the bulletin contains a list showing the currency first, followed by the name of the country or countries in which such currency is in use. 2. Only the basic unit and principal fractional unit normally used in quoting sums of money are given. The principal fractional units are given'in amounts equal in value to the basic unit. The bulletin does not indicate the various denominations of coinage or banknotes in which the currency is issued. 3. The bulletin also gives the correct descriptive designation to be used when such designation is needed to avoid ambiguity. 4. The abbreviation for the basic currency units should be used .only when it is absolutely clear to which currency reference is being made. The unit should be written in full at the first mention if there is any possibility of ambiguity, for example: "It was reported that 500 French francs had been contributed." Thereafter, an abbreviation should be used: F 500. Where necessary, the unit should be written in full again. 5. When the unit is written in full, it should follow the amount, for example: 400 Colombian pesos. When the abbreviation is used, it should always precede the amount, for example: Col$ 400. 6. Where a symbol - such as $ or £ - is used to represent a unit of currency, there should be no space between the symbol and the figures; for example: $150,000; £500. Where the abbreviation is a letter or letters or a combination of letter(s) and symbol, there should be one space between the abbreviation and the first· figure. 7. In tables, the unit should be clearly indicated, either below the title of the table in parenthesis or at the head of the appropriate column(s), for example: millions of United States dollars or, where space is limited, US$ million. I 8 8. In the lists that follow, an asterisk indicates that the second abbreviation given should be used, if necessary, for clarity. 9. The currency units and their abbreviations are based mainly on those of the International Monetary Fund. 10. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this bulletin do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations. 9 NOTE EXPLICATIVE l.

Is there anything what is common for both countries? Many people will answer to this question probably „NOT“. Czech Republic is the country in the middle of Europe, (the Capital – Prague is very often called „the heart of Europe“), which quite successfully transferred social planned economy to market economy. North Korea is on the other hand a country with very central planned economy in North East Asia, where to talk about market economy is something not really possible. So two countries – no geographical connection, (the geographical distance between the two countries is about 8.000 km), no economic connection, each of the state is really in total different pole. Well if a person is satisfied with this explanation it is true there is probably not so much common and these two countries are not really comparable.

Orlowski INTRODUCTION Exchange rate policies have always been important for policy makers in Central and Eastern Europe. Even before the initiation of market-orien,ted ,economic reforms in the beginning of the 1990s, the command economy system' was con­ fronted with more deregulated world markets through the export and import of goods and services. Therefore, policy makers could not ignore equilibrium exchange rates with currencies of the leading world economies, although the official rates were arbitrarily set by the Communist authorities at significantly distorted levels. Comprehensive programs of economic deregulation strengthened the impor­ tance of exchange rate policies for at least three reasons.

This currency separation was higly appreciated and its scenario and legislative background were reccommended by the IMF for use in other countries. The paper aims also to draw conclusions on performance of selected macroeconomic variables of the two successor countries with impact on monetary policy and exchange rates of successor currencies.

Introduction Last decade of 20th century was an important period either from political either from economic aspects. Developed market economies mainly in Western Europe and Northern America were on the margin of recession, and in most centrally planned economies the political regimes were collapsing, starting a period of crucial political changes, which resulted, in some cases, into separation of multinational federations and birth of new states.

  • Focus on European Economic Integration Special Issue 2009 from the Koruna to the Euro
    From the Koruna to the Euro Elena Kohútiková1 Slovakia is one of the few countries to have successfully introduced two currencies and two monetary policies in its economy in a relatively short period of time. This fact offers us an opportunity to compare (1) the period following the establish- ment of both an independent state and an independent currency with (2) the period when the national currency was changed and Slovakia joined the euro area. 1 The Slovak Koruna The second half of 1992 was extremely dynamic and brought the decision to split Czechoslovakia into two independent states on January 1, 1993. One of the issues discussed at that time was the establishment of a new central bank in Slovakia that would assume all the responsibilities that a central bank must fulfill. However, it was also decided that – in the first few months following the setup of both the new states and the new central banks – the Czech Republic and Slovakia would each conduct their own economic policies while maintaining a common monetary policy. In other words, the decision was made to create a monetary union between the two new states and to use the Czechoslovak koruna as the common currency. Initially, the monetary union was meant to exist for at least six months to allow both countries to prepare the launch of their own currencies and monetary policies. For the monetary union to work, the bank boards of both central banks transferred the responsibilities associated with monetary policy management to a Monetary Committee, in which both countries were each represented by three central bank delegates.

  • The Czech Experience with Capital Flows: Challenges for Monetary Policy
    The Czech experience with capital flows: challenges for monetary policy Luděk Niedermayer and Vít Bárta1 1. Introduction Capital flows are a crucial factor in macroeconomic and monetary development. Especially in a small open economy, they usually have a direct and sizeable impact on the exchange rate and, through it, on inflation, competitiveness and economic growth. Should the overall macroeconomic framework become internally inconsistent, capital flows become a typical channel through which the necessary correction materialises. They thus constitute both the channel through which a given macroeconomic setting could be damaged or undermined and a useful adjustment mechanism of re-establishing the economic order. In this paper, we discuss the experience of the Czech economy with capital flows since the beginning of its transformation, which started in 1991. We deal with three different periods characterised by substantial volumes of capital flows with significant implications for the way monetary policy was implemented. Three different developments were occurring within different macroeconomic frameworks, thus having different monetary policy implications. Namely, we deal with: (1) the period 1991–95, when the fixed exchange rate and monetary targeting were maintained; (2) 1996–99, when the Czech National Bank (CNB) widened the fluctuation margin for the koruna and when a speculative attack ultimately led the CNB to abandon the fixed exchange rate regime, with negative implications for exchange rate volatility; and (3) 2002–03, when the CNB, against the background of a steady appreciation trend, faced an appreciation bubble and its subsequent burst. We also briefly discuss a potential future challenge for monetary policy consisting in a high share of repatriated profits in the current account deficit.

The ISO 4217 code list is used in banking and business around the world. In many countries, ISO codes for more common currencies are so well known publicly that exchange rates published in newspapers or placed in banks use only these for currency delineation, not translated currency names or ambiguous currency symbols. ISO 4217 codes are used on airfares and international train tickets to eliminate any ambiguity about the price. The code is forming a list of exchange rates for various base currencies given changed in Thailand, with Thailand Bath as a counter (or quote) currency. Please note that the Korean currency code must be KRW. The first two letters of the code are two letters of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (which are also used as the basis for national top-level domains on the Internet), and the third is usually the initial of the currency itself.
