Inflation targeting and floating exchange rates • Inflation targeters do not ignore exchange rate; A fixed exchange rate regime, sometimes called a pegged exchange rate regime, is one in which a monetary authority pegs its currency's exchange rate to another currency, a basket of other currencies or to another measure of value (such as gold), and may allow the rate to fluctuate within a narrow range. To maintain the exchange rate within that range, a country's monetary authority usually needs to intervenes in the foreign exchange market.

Exchange rate targeting is the process through which a central bank intervenes in the market mechanism to maintain the exchange rate at a particular level that they deem as desirable. For example, some countries have fixed exchange rate regimes where the central bank use their net international reserves to alter the supply of currency to keep it fixed or maintain it at a particular rate with another currency.

For example, some countries have fixed exchange rate regimes where the central bank use their net international reserves to alter the supply of currency to keep it fixed or maintain it at a particular rate with another currency. Target zone arrangements can be seen as being half way between fixed and flexible exchange rates. This kind of exchange rate system therefore allows for relatively stable trading conditions to prevail between countries, and at the same time allows some fluctuation in foreign exchange rates depending on relative economic conditions and trade flows. A fixed exchange rate occurs when a country keeps the value of its currency at a certain level against another currency. Often countries join a semi-fixed exchange rate, where the currency can fluctuate within a small target level. A fixed exchange ratio: the ratio is fixed until closing date. This is used in a majority of U.S. transactions with deal values over $100 million. A floating exchange ratio: The ratio floats such that the target receives a fixed value no matter what happens to either acquirer or target shares.
