Assume that the quantity theory of money and relative PPP both hold. Output growth is 3% in the U.S. and 2% in Mexico, while money supply growth is 7% in the U.S. Money demand is constant in both countries. What money supply growth rate should Mexico choose if it wishes to fix the value of its currency to the U.S. dollar?

In 2020, the Central Bank of Faunaland increased the money supply growth by 8%, whereas the Central Bank of Gregoria allowed a relatively low money growth of 2%. Faunaland also experienced a relatively high output growth of 4%, whereas Gregoria had relatively robust output growth of 6%. Suppose the Central Bank of Gregoria wants to maintain an exchange rate peg with the currency of Faunaland. What money growth rate would the Central Bank of Gregoria have to choose to keep the value of the currency of Gregoria fixed relative to the currency of Faunaland? For this question, use the simple monetary model, where L is constant. a. 4% b. 6% c. 8% d. 10%

Assume the country of Ballear is running a greater budget deficit and is forced to borrow large additional amounts of money. What is likely to happen to the exchange rate of its currency (the Dinor)? The demand for Dinors will increase, and as a result the exchange rate for the Dinor will rise. The demand for other currencies would rise, and the exchange rate for the Dinor would fall. The demand for Dinors will decrease, and as a result the exchange rate for the Dinor will fall. The supply of Dinors will increase, and as a result the exchange rate for the Dinor will rise.
Relative inflation rates affect interest rates, exchange rates, the overall economic health of a country, and the operations and profitability of multinational companies. Consider the following statement: Countries with lower inflation rates will have lower interest rates.

For many years, the Chinese currency has been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Critics argue that this policy has resulted in an unfair advantage for Chinese manufacturers exporting product to the U.S., and has contributed to ballooning U.S. trade deficits. Pressure to revalue, including threats of trade sanctions against China, has led the Chinese government to adopt a slightly more flexible policy which pegs the Yuan to a basket of currencies rather than the dollar alone.

Chinese leaders feel that increasing the value of the yuan relative to the dollar would contribute to economic and political instability in China.
