Does the South African rand's relatively large volatility affect inflation? To shed some light on this question, a standard estimation technique of exchange rate pass-through to inflation is extended to incorporate exchange rate volatility. Estimated results suggest that higher exchange rate...

Using monthly data for four selected emerging economies, we find that sterilised central bank foreign exchange intervention has little systematic influence on near-term nominal exchange rate expectations in the direction intended by the central banks. In other words, central bank dollar...

In this paper we consider the role of exchange rate risk in influencing local currency sovereign bond yields in emerging market economies (EMEs). We explicitly account for exchange rate expectations and uncertainty around them, as measured by exchange rate volatility. The analysis points to an...
