Answer to Question 1

If, for example, Great Britain had a current account deficit, the holders of pounds would become nervous and shift their wealth into other currencies. In order hold the pound's exchange rate against the dollar pegged, the Bank of England would have to buy pounds and supply the foreign assets that market participants wished to hold. This resulting loss in foreign reserves, if large enough, would most likely force a devaluation by leaving the Bank of England without enough reserves to prop up the exchange rate.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
