Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A fixed exchange rate policy is an exchange rate that is pegged at a value decided by the government or central bank. The central bank directly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to block the unregulated forces of supply and demand from changing the exchange rate away from its pegged value. For instance, if a central bank wanted to hold the exchange rate steady in the presence of diminished demand for its currency, the central bank props up demand by buying its currency in the foreign exchange market to keep the exchange rate from falling. If the demand for its currency increases, the central bank increases the supply by selling its currency and keeps the exchange rate from rising.
