Different Exchange Rate Systems. Fixed Exchange Rate System. Typically, with a pegged exchange rate, an initial target exchange rate is set and the actual exchange rate will be allowed to fluctuate in a range around that initial target rate. Also, given changes in economic fundamentals, the target exchange rate may be modified.

but of target zone systems generally. A target zone is a hybrid exchange rate regime, a compromise between floating and completely fixed exchange rates. In a target zone system, monetary authorities pledge to keep the exchange rate with a particular foreign currency, or basket of currencies, within given margins around a central parity.

This is also known as the pegged exchange rate system. There can be a very small percentage allowable deviation (band) on both sides of the rate. Target Zone. This is a fixed parity with a somewhat wider band. Crawling Peg. In this case, the exchange rate is fixed and then adjusted periodically to keep pace with the inflation rate. Crawling Band

In a target zone system, monetary authorities pledge to keep the exchange rate with a particular foreign currency, or basket of currencies, within given margins around a central parity. realignment of the EMS target zone may cause a jump in the exchange rate and is inevitable when the new and the old target zones do not overlap. Second, a jump in the exchange rate may occur within the target zone. For example, a pronounced change in the fundamental value of a currency can be caused by announcements of
