The Impact

This study examines the exchange rate rebound effects of the Central Bank intervention in the selected ECOWAS economies. An empirical understanding of these effects is very important to trade adjustment as well as the macroeconomic stability in these countries. Using the panel data modelling framework, the study finds that the impact of the Central Bank intervention on exchange rate is insignificant and it does not lead to the exchange rate rebound. In addition, money supply as well as monetary policy rate implemented by the monetary authorities significantly influences the level of exchange rate in a positive direction.

The Exchange Rate

The main objective of this paper is to study the sources of asymmetry in the volatility of the bilateral exchange rates of the Moroccan dirham (MAD), against the EUR and the USD using the asymmetric econometric models of the ARCH-GARCH family. An empirical analysis was conducted on daily central bank data from March 2003 to March 2021, with a sample size of 4575 observations. Central bank intervention in the foreign exchange (interbank) market was found to affect the asymmetry in the volatility of the bilateral EUR/MAD and USD/MAD exchange rates. Specifically, sales of foreign exchange reserves by the monetary authority cause a fall in the exchange rate, which means that the market response to shocks is asymmetric. Finally, the selection criterion (AIC) allowed us to conclude that the asymmetric model AR(1)-TGARCH(1,1) is adequate for modeling the volatility of the exchange rate of the Moroccan dirham.

Effectiveness Of Monetary Policy

The purpose of this study is evaluating the effectiveness of monetary policy in Morocco. The results suggest that the monetary authorities must get out of the narrowness of logic monetarist by adopting a new approach which explicitly privileges the targeting of inflation as the ultimate goal, while referring to a multitude of indicators likely to guide the Central Bank in the conduct of its monetary policy as the exchange rate and interest rate next to the M3 aggregate growth rule. Thus, monetary authorities should out of the narrow sense monetarist by adopting a new approach that focuses explicitly targeting inflation as the ultimate goal, while referring to a multitude of indicators to guide the central bank in the conduct of monetary policy as exchange rate and Interest rate ET and this, alongside the growth rule M3.

The Given

In this paper, using an econometric model (the model with Markov switchings), monetary policy of the Russian Federation in 2001—2011 is studied, based on the Taylor rule. CBR’s policy priorities in relation to inflation and the exchange rate in the given period are identified. Monetary tools are revealed, which support the mode selected by the CBR.
