A flexible exchange-rate system is a monetary system that allows the exchange rate to be determined by supply and demand. Every currency area must decide what type of exchange rate arrangement to maintain. Between permanently fixed and completely flexible however, are heterogeneous approaches. They have different implications for the extent to which national authorities participate in foreign exchange markets. According to their degree of flexibility, post-Bretton Woods-exchange rate regimes are

Nowhere are these macroeconomic policy dilemmas currently more acute than for emerging market oil‐exporting economies, with their pegged exchange rates making it difficult to adjust to swings in the high price of crude oil.

Although many countries still have fixed or other forms of pegged exchange rate regimes, a growing number—including Brazil, Chile, Israel, and Poland—have adopted more flexible regimes over the past decade. The trend toward greater exchange rate flexibility is During the period between 2004 and 2008 the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries witnessed high levels of inflation. This was largely due to the US dollar pegged exchange rate regime operating in these economies at the time, and the depreciation of the US dollar over other major currencies during the same period.This research explores alternative exchange rate regimes available for the GCC

This working paper examines the fortunes of 40 oil- and gas-dependent economies during the 21st century commodity boom and finds that in spite of oil and gas prices nearly trebling, a sizable majority (75 percent) of these countries saw oil and gas rents decrease as a share of GDP. The corollary being that countries lose their ability to react independently to domestic economic concerns. Nowhere are these macroeconomic policy dilemmas currently more acute than for emerging market oil‐exporting economies, with their pegged exchange rates making it difficult to adjust to swings in the high price of crude oil.

Currency pegs in the Gulf economies have forced monetary policy to be pro-cyclical, exacerbating the effects of swings in the oil market on the business cycle. This column proposes a new exchange rate regime for oil-exporting countries: one in which the currency is pegged to a basket that includes commodities along with currencies.

Exchange rate flexibility would reduce the need for domestic prices in the oil-exporting economies to rise and fall along with the price of oil, create additional room for monetary policy to from the oil windfall. Most oil-exporting economies now need an oil price of $40 a barrel to cover their import bill, includ-ing their bill for imported labor—up from $20 a barrel a few years ago. But with oil trading above $90 a barrel, they still have substantial sums available to invest in the rest of the world. One feature of oil-exporting emerging economies, though, Exchange rate flexibility would reduce the need for domestic prices in the oil-exporting economies to rise and fall along with the price of oil, create additional room for monetary policy to reflect domestic conditions, and help oil-exporting economies manage the large swings in government revenue that accompany large swings in the oil price.

N The Case for Exchange Rate Flexibility in Oil-Exporting Economies B rad S etser Greater exchange rate flexibility would help oil exporting economies manage the volatility in export – and government -- revenues associated with oil price volatility. The case for additional exchange rate flexibility is symmetric: it would help oil-exporting economies adjust to both surges and large falls in the dollar or euro price of oil. Flexible exchange rate. Flexible exchange rates can be defined as exchange rates determined by global supply and demand of currency. In other words, they are prices of foreign exchange determined by the market, that can rapidly change due to supply and demand, and are not pegged nor controlled by central banks.
