Talk:Fixed exchange rate

message: I think Bolivia's exchange rate has been fixed to the U.S. dollar as well. I say this based on the ten year record of exchange rates on google:

thread_title: Add bolivia to the list/map?

message: A fixed exchange rate is a rate which variated between a narrow band of rates for an extended period of time, controlled by the central bank. A pegged rate is an exchange rate that follows the variations of another country's exchange rate. So the first line of the article is incorrect!! Fixed rates are not otherwise known as pegged rates because they are clearly different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waywoodr (talk • contribs) 12:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixed exchange rate and Pegged exchange rate are different 

message: I can't seem to make sense of much of this, I understand the words, I just wonder if the language used maximizes understanding.
:The 3rd paragraph in particular is a bit difficult.  I'd say its actually the opposite - it is too terse, and is trying to cover too much ground in too few words and ends up looking like its not covering much.  Morwen - Talk 13:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this article longwinded or somewhat redundant? 

message: There is a merge proposal at fixed currency to come here. 
Furthermore pegged currency reverts to fixed currency. 
I Support the merge to this namespace. Having different pages adds nothing to the topic.

message: I have created a seperate article for fixed exchange rate systems as they are very different.
A fixed exchange rate is a A fixed exchange rate, sometimes called a pegged exchange rate, is a type of exchange rate regime wherein a currency's value is matched to the value of another single currency or to a basket of other currencies, or to another measure of value, such as gold.
A fixed exchange rate system is a A fixed exchange rate system is a currency system in which governments try to keep the value of their currencies constant against one another.
Hence I have create a separate article for fixed exchange rate system.Smallman12q (talk) 13:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Fixed exchange rate]] v [[Fixed exchange rate system]]

message: The article says "For example, the Asian financial crisis was improved by the fixed exchange rate of the Chinese renminbi, and the IMF and the World Bank now acknowledge that Malaysia's adoption of a peg to the US dollar in the aftermath of the same crisis was highly successful." This sentence is very misleading. In fact, China at that time was suffering from the fixed exchange rate, it didn't revalue its currency for political reason, rather than for the economic reason. The stability is due to the capital control rather than the fixed exchange rate regime. Jackzhp (talk) 05:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this section is badly written and unclear.  Also, it appears to push a POV and needs citations.  Bonewah (talk) 13:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: fixed exchange rate regime vs. Capital control

message: We have a section about criticism in this article, which is a start. Not only do we need to elaborate on that small paragraph, but we should also provide arguments for why a fixed exchange rate might be beneficial. Most notably, the fact that it can pose an advantage to developing nations, as well as the increased stability and certainty for investors and so on.

message: The currencies of the countries that now use the euro are still existing (e.g. for old bonds). The rates of these currencies are fixed with respect to the euro and to each other. Dirk math (talk) 17:03, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Euro 

message: This is a loosened peg, so they're managing to a range instead of a fixed rate against the USD. The article is misleading, as it's still a managed currency  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.174.112.22 (talk) 22:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
