Abstract

Numerous inflation stabilization programmes are based on exchange-rate stabilization. Under most circumstances the stock of net foreign reserves (NFR) plays a crucial role in the credibility and success of exchange-rate stabilization, as has been stressed by Dornbusch (1991). A rapid depletion of NFR caused by an exogenous shock may severely imperil an otherwise well-designed programme.
