Answer to Question 1

While political and monetary institutions are developing, the best monetary policy might be to peg the exchange rate to the currency of a low-inflation economy. Since, in the absence of capital controls, savings will flow into and out of the economy, a credible commitment to low inflation and financial stability is important. Typically, economic growth relies heavily on export performance, which suffers from excessive volatility of the exchange rate. Similarly, a relatively stable exchange rate supports the availability of critical imports. With an exchange-rate peg, domestic economic fluctuations will not be transmitted to the exchange rate, so adverse expectations-driven feedback loops may be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

D
