In cases of excess demand or excess supply of a currency the equilibrium will be restored automatically by either depreciation or appreciation of the exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C) Hybrid exchange rate systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nowadays,the hybrid foreign exchange rate that combine some of the characteristics of fixed and flexible exchange rate systems&nbsp; is in practice and is as follows :-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Managed floating exchange rate system <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Under this system the monetary authorities can intervene in the foreign exchange markets to maintain or smooth out short run fluctuations without attempting to affect the long run trend in exchange rate. This is done by either decreasing or increasing the country\u2019s foreign exchange reserves. It is also called the policy of \u2018leaning against the wind\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This policy has number of variants:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Adjustable peg<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All fixed exchange rate systems usually allow the exchange rate to fluctuate narrowly between defined limits. An adjustable peg system requires countries to periodically change their exchange rates when they are in balance of payments disequilibrium.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Crawling pegs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Crawling peg or sliding or gliding parities was devised to overcome the disadvantage of adjustable peg system (relatively large fluctuation in par values and possible destabilizing speculation).Under this system the par values are changed by small amounts or percentages which are preannounced at frequent or specified intervals, until the equilibrium exchange rate is reached.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Clean float system<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The exchange rate under this system is determined by free market forces of demand and supply of foreign exchange. There is no intervention from monetary authority.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Dirty float system<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The exchange rate is determined by free market forces of demand and supply of foreign exchange but monetary authorities intervene from time to time to control the excessive fluctuations prevailing in the market.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Filthy float system<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In this system the monetary authorities are forced to intervene to smooth out the violent fluctuations in the market.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Joint float system<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In this system a group of countries have a joint float against other countries but have an adjustable peg system between their own currencies. For example, it is prevalent in European Monetary System.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/certifications\">Click here for government certifications<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign exchange rate is defined as the ratio of exchange between the currencies of two countries.Foreign exchange or external value of the currency is also the price of one currency in terms of other currency.For example, exchange rate of rupee in terms of dollars is 1$=Rs 63.81 (on 7 august 2015).
