Answer to Question 1

Black markets for foreign currencies are likely to occur in countries with an overvalued currency than with an undervalued currency. This is because, to defend an overvalued currency, the government has to sell the foreign currency and buy the domestic currency. Since selling the foreign currency provides the government with opportunities to make profits, black markets are more likely to come into existence. The exchange rates in black markets are less favorable to sellers of domestic currency than in a flexible exchange rate.

Answer to Question 2

B
