Globalized World

Globalization has brought immense benefit for the welfare of the human race. For a globalized world, the economic integration of nations around the world is a prerequisite. This integration of economies has brought in the concept of international trade wherein the countries trade with each other. For a trade to be carried out the buyer has to pay the seller in currency that is accepted by the seller. As of now one of the widely accepted currencies is USD and the exchange rates of most of the currencies are determined in terms of USD. The exchange rate of a country is affected by many macroeconomic variables and one among them is the FDI. This paper has tried to analyse whether FDI as a macroeconomic variable affects the exchange rate of selected Asian countries' currencies. With the integration of economies around the world, it is important to know the factor responsible for the variation in the exchange rates. With this knowledge, the Governments and the Central Banks can plan their policies accordingly that are attractive to the investors. The study has considered countries such as China, India, Phillipines, Qatar and Singapore. The study has used regression to find out the influence of FDI inflows on the exchange rates of respective currencies and correlation has been used to find the extent of relationship between the variables considered. The results show that the FDI inflows affect the exchange rates of all the countries considered except Phillipines. Also correlation shows that FDI inflows and Exchange rates of Qatar are not related since Qatar follow fixed exchange rate regime.

The Exchange Rate

The document conducts an empirical investigation on the volatility of the Chilean exchange rate regime, using a model of Objective Zones. Through the use of the ARCH model, the document tests the volatility of the exchange rate in the presence of different levels of international reserves and other macroeconomic shocks. The results show that domestic credit, domestic debt and external debt have the greatest impact on the volatility of the variables studied, especially when compared with other fundamental variables. The variance of the exchange rate is heterosedastic but it is not persistent, which implies that the exchange rate is stable, probably when it oscillates between two bands. The volatility of the exchange rate fluctuates to a greater extent in the face of changes in internal and external debt, than with the other variables used.
