Exchange Rate Regimes and International Monetary Systems

One must have knowledge in foreign exchange rate regimes and foreign exchange rate arrangements to better understand foreign exchange rate behaviour, since the choice of foreign exchange rate regimes can influence or determine how the exchange rate between two currencies moves and fluctuates on foreign exchange markets. For example, if an arrangement is made for a currency which fixes the currency’s exchange rate against the US dollar, then there is little sense to study the market force for the sake of exchange rate determination for the currency.
