Exchange Rate Pass Through

The  study investigated the magnitude of exchange rate pass through to import prices and domestic prices    (consumer price index) in WAMZ economy using quarterly time-series data between 2000 and 2010 with the aids of Vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling technique supported with Johansen co-integration approach cross country analysis comprising of Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra-Leone. The study discovered that transmission of exchange rate to import prices is more when compared with consumer price in the zone while the contributions of exchange rate to import price are not less 13 percent at average in entire zone. Consumer price index was explained by exchange rate pass through with an average of 26 percent in the zone where the pass through to consumer price is less than two percent in Ghanaian economy. The Taylor (2000) hypothesis was observed in the study where Ghana and Nigeria are the outlier economies while Nigeria established a positive relationship between interest rate volatility and exchange rate pass through to import prices.

Exchange Rate Pass Through

In this paper, we tried to revisit the transmission degree of exchange rate variations to domestic prices (import prices, MPI; producer prices, PPI; and consumer prices, CPI) in Tunisia. To do this, we used the VAR–SVAR methodology, over the 2000:1–2013:12 period. The adopted mode is gathering national prices, nominal exchange rates, foreign prices and a control variable that is the interest rate. The findings highlights that the pass-through is incomplete for all considered prices. However, the degree of the exchange rate pass-through is the highest on import prices, is moderate on producer prices and is the lowest on consumer prices. Besides, the incomplete pass-through of MPI results from the pricing to market behavior and the lowest pass-through for CPI is due basically to the composition of this index which is administrated by 30% of its components. The impulse response functions analysis, that largely corroborates to the variance decomposition, shows that when the central bank conducts a restrictive monetary policy the inflation decreases without widening the output gap.
