The Interest Rate-Exchange Rate Link in the Mexican Float



Carlos A. Ibarra

implications from these results were discussed in Section I: the
observed reaction of the interest rate differential to a rise in the
exchange rate may represent a stumbling block for the adoption of an
anti-cyclical monetary policy, and it may also compromise the output
stabilizing properties of the floating regime in the presence of capital
account shocks.

III. Explaining the link

This section offers an interpretation of the observed pattern of
interest rate-exchange rate correlations in the Mexican float; the
interpretation focuses on how an inflation-averse central bank may
react to an exogenous currency depreciation, and notes the
implications for the behavior of local interest rates, if private agents
incorporate the central bank reaction function into their expectations
formation process.15

15 The analysis assumes that the central bank reaction function is at least imperfectly
known (and credible) within the private sector.
