Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the degree of de facto exchange rate flexibility in the exchange rate regimes for emerging Asian economies, viz. Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. While the propensity for foreign exchange intervention and exchange rate management among regional central banks remains fairly high in many cases and that the degree of fixity to the US dollar remains very strong, we note that these relationships correlate to some extent with both official classifications and those based on the IMF exchange rate classifications. We find that the inflation targeting countries are exhibit less fixity and are less influenced by the US dollar than the non-inflation targeters. We also find that the managed floaters (as defined by the IMF) exhibit less fixity and are less influenced by the US dollar than the conventional peggers.
