台湾外汇市场分析

1978年7月,台湾为了适应岛内外形势的变化,将实施了17年之久的钉住美元的固定汇率制度改为机动汇率制度,并于1979年2月建立了外汇市场。 一、外汇市场的组织 台湾外汇市场在1990年以前没有外汇经纪商和外汇交易商,而是以外汇指定银行的操作为中心,故外汇市场分为两个层次:一是外汇指定银行与顾客之间的外汇市场;二是外汇指定银行彼此之间的外汇市场。前者主要是外汇指定银行与外汇供给者(如出口商或汇入款所得     

乌兹别克斯坦将取消外汇市场上的所有限制

国际货币基金组织的代表团结束了对乌兹别克斯坦首都塔什干市的视察访问。视察结果是通过了今后3个月的旨在继续消除货币和贸易限制的专门行动计划。该计划是乌兹别克斯坦政府制定并于2003年7月4日提交国际货币基金组织的。如果塔什干方面提出的那些措施能够落实,那么乌兹别克斯坦将在今年11月前采用日常汇兑的所有标准。     

我国外汇市场羊群行为分析

近段时间以来我国面临人民币巨大的升值压力。从行为金融学角度，在我国外汇市场上通过对参与者群体乃至国家的行为分析，从另一个视角认识我国的外汇市场现状，并得出一些结论，无疑是一种积极和有益的尝试和探索。     

外汇市场冲销干预研究的一般理论模型

布雷顿森林体系解体以来，世界上多数国家都实行浮动汇率制，由此中央银行开始在外汇市场上积极干预以稳定汇率，同时为了维护货币政策的独立性以稳定货币供给，又通过不同的货币 重工具来抵消前者对货币供应量的影响，由此西文国际金融理论界对冲销干预的问题进行了不断的研究，尤其是对于中     

关于建立人民币远期外汇市场的思考

随着加入世界贸易组织．我国进出口外企业和贸易伙伴的数量．也逐步增长．由此伴随进出口的货币结算方式也会越趋显得多样和复杂。由于中国目前实行的是钉住美元的固定汇率制度．而我们的主要贸易伙伴大多数都采用浮动汇率制度，所以当我们须用欧元，日元等其他货币结算时．人民币汇率就会处于波动的风险之中。另外．从长远的角度看．随着我国市场的不断对外开放．钉住美元的汇率制度也会越来越有弹性．而人民币经常项目自由兑换后资本管制的逐渐放松．更使汇率波动成为正常现象。日趋明显的汇率波动现象．不仅增加了企业进出口战略的不确定性因素和调整费用．从而直接影响了企业的进出口数量．而且对一个国家的生产和投资结构乃至政府的货币政策都会产生间接的影响。     

中国外汇市场的微观结构

本文从外汇市场微观结构理论出发来分析中国外汇市场微观结构的变迁和特征。2006年年初,中国在人民币外汇市场引入了做市商制度,做市商是市场的定价中心,中国外汇市场具备了市场的微观结构。做市商在人民币汇率形成和决定中发挥着重要的作用,但是中国外汇市场以银行间市场为主,交易量相对较小,客户结构单一,这些都限制了汇率基本面信息的传递。

Efficient market implications for foreign exchange exposure management

Summary Under the hypothesis of efficient foreign exchange markets, the validity of the Purchasing Power Parity theorem may take care of the company’s uncertainty with respect to the mean value of its foreign currency portfolio. The remaining uncertainty, i.e. the variance of the value of the foreign currency portfolio around its mean, can be reduced by hedging. Assuming efficient markets, the expected cost of hedging is equal to the transaction costs incurred. Taking into account the low cost of hedging, one can substantially reduce the foreign exchange risk at a relatively low cost. Hedging should be used more extensively than is common practice.     

Pricing of foreign exchange risk and market segmentation: Evidence from Pakistan's equity market

This paper undertakes empirical analysis to investigate whether foreign exchange rate risk is priced, and the extent to which the Pakistani equity market is integrated into world equity markets. For the period January 1993–January 2013, we investigate unconditional pricing using the iterated generalized method of moments, employing industry and size portfolios formed from 180 firms traded on the Karachi Stock Exchange. Using the multi beta asset pricing model, we find that exchange risk is priced into the Pakistani equity market over the full sample period. Moreover, we find strong evidence that the Pakistani equity market is segmented from world markets, especially in the post 9/11 period.     

Modeling coordinated foreign exchange market interventions: The case of the Japanese and U.S. interventions in the 1990s

During the past thirty years, central banks often intervened in foreign exchange markets. Sometimes they carried out foreign exchange market interventions on a unilateral basis. However, central banks often coordinated their foreign exchange market interventions. We develop a quantitative reaction function model that renders it possible to study the factors that made central banks switch from unilateral to coordinated interventions. We apply our model to the intervention policies of the Japanese monetary authorities and the U.S. Federal Reserve in the yen/U.S. dollar market during the period 1991–2001. To this end, we use recently released official data on the foreign exchange market interventions of the Japanese monetary authorities. JEL no. F31, F33, G14, G15     

The Russian foreign exchange market: Achievements on the path to liberalization

The paper analyzes Russia’s macroeconomic conditions and main trends in its foreign exchange market under financial liberalization. Structural changes in the Russian foreign exchange market are juxtaposed with major trends and proportions in the world’s forex market such as swap and futures operations and the increased role of the single European currency in the economy and finances. In the examination of the initial results of the dual currency basket policy of the Bank of Russia, the accent is on the foreign exchange market infrastructure, i.e., exchange business, clearing and settlements, as a necessary condition for Russia’s integration into the world’s financial system.     

Elasticity pessimism,expectations, and stability of the foreign exchange market

Conclusions This note has shown that, when trade volumes do not respond sufficiently to deviations from equilibrium of the exchange rate, and when speculative demand for foreign currency is assumed to be a stock demand, the dynamic stability of the foreign exchange market depends crucially on expectational assumptions. Of the expectational assumptions investigated here, only perfect myopic foresight is capable of providing dynamic stability, and then only when the sensitivity of speculators to capital gains is larger than a threshold value determined by other parameter values in the system.     

What has foreign exchange market intervention since the Plaza Agreement accomplished?

We review the conduct and scale of official intervention by monetary authorities in the U.S.A., Japan, and West Germany since the Plaza Agreement. Relative to trading volume and the stock of internatonally traded assets denominated in foreign currencies, intervention is small-scale and sporadic, hence at best limited to transitory effects. It does not appear to reduce volatility of daily exchange rates. Monetary authorities gamble that they will not suffer losses on their foreign currency holdings. Evidence in favor of sterilized foreign exchange market intervention as a way of conveying information to the private sector is far from convincing. Since changes in relative monetary growth rates are sufficient to alter bilateral exchange rates, monetary authorities can achieve their exchange rate preferences with domestic monetary policy, but at the cost of possible distortionary effects on monetary growth rates, domestic interest rates, and international capital flows.     

A structural break in the effects of Japanese foreign exchange intervention on yen/dollar exchange rate volatility

We study the impact of Japanese foreign exchange intervention on the volatility of the yen/dollar exchange rate since the early 1990’s in a GARCH framework with interventions as exogenous variables. Using daily intervention data provided by the Japanese Ministry of Finance, we show that the effect of interventions varies over time. From 1991 up to the late 1990’s, Japanese foreign exchange intervention is associated with an increase in volatility of the yen/dollar exchange rate. After the year 1997, Japanese foreign exchange intervention correlates with reductions in exchange rate volatility. This can be explained by the fact that Japanese foreign exchange intervention remained quasi unsterilized in the liquidity trap.
