(Assume the country begins at a triple intersection ,you are suggested explain with figure)Part III, Reading and analysis (9 score for paper1 and 10 score for paper 2)1: China to further reform RMB exchange rate regime (体制)The People's Bank of China (PBOC ), China's central bank, has decided to proceed further with the reform of the Renminbi (RMB ) exchange rate regime to enhance the RMB exchange rate flexibility, a spokesperson of the central bank said on Jun 19, 2010, Saturday Beijing. The decision was made in view of the recent economic situation and financial market developments at home and abroad, and the balance of payments (BOP) situation in China, the spokesperson said in a statement.In further proceeding with the reform, continued emphasis would be placed to reflecting market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. The exchange rate floating bands will remain the same as previously announced in the inter-bank foreign exchange market, the spokesman said.The spokesperson said China's external trade is becoming more balanced. The ratio of current account surplus to GDP, after a notable reduction in 2009, has been declining since the beginning of 2010. 30$/££B S £ B1.5D £ EA C"With the BOP account moving closer to equilibrium, the basis for large-scale appreciation of the RMB exchange rate does not exist," the spokesperson said.The PBOC will further enable market to play a fundamental role in resource allocation, promote a more balanced BOP account, maintain the RMB exchange rate basically stable at an adaptive and equilibrium level, and achieve the macroeconomic and financial stability in China, the spokesperson said.China has moved into a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference of a basket of currencies since July 1, 2005.The spokesperson said the reform of the RMB exchange rate regime has been making steady progress since 2005, producing the anticipated results and playing a positive role. ( On July 21, 2005, the People's Bank of China, announced that the RMB yuan, will be traded at a rate of 8.11 to the US and the yuan to US dollar pegging system is switched to a basket of foreign currencies.) With the current round of international financial crisis was at its worst, the exchange rate of a number of sovereign currencies to the US dollar depreciated by varying margins."The stability of the RMB exchange rate has played an important role in mitigating(缓解) the crisis' impact, contributing significantly to Asian and global recovery, and demonstrating China's efforts in promoting global rebalancing," the spokesperson said.The gradual recovery of the global economy and upturn of the Chinese economy has become more solid with enhanced economic stability. It is desirable to proceed further with reform of the RMB exchange rate regime and increase the RMB exchange rate flexibility, said the spokesperson.Question1:Why the spokesperson said. "With the BOP account moving closer to equilibrium, the basis for large-scale appreciation of the RMB exchange rate does not exist,"Question2: Why the Chinese Central bank would like to proceed the reform of the Renminbi (RMB)exchange rate regime to enhance the RMB exchange rate flexibility. Can you explain the benefit by making the RMB more flexible?2: Hot money flow and its explanationThe generally accepted view is that the inflow of short-term speculative money (so-called hot-money) began in 2007 in China targeting capital gains derived from rising stock and property prices an d the anticipated appreciation of the RMB. “hot money” is defined as the flow of funds counted as capital and financial account other than for direct investment and errors and omissions. In other words, “hot money” is defined as “changes in reserve assets”minus “changes in current account” minus “direct investment flows”. This is the simplest way to express the movement of short-term funds, and the most conservative, as the estimates tend to be smaller.When adjustments are made for the some policy measures, the BoP statistics indicate that “hot money” inflows into China accelerated from 22.5 billion USD in the first half of 2007, to 70.2 billion USD in the second half of 2007, and up to 139.1 billion USD in the first half of 2008. In contrast, a huge 184.8 billion USD of “hot money” flowed out in the second half of 2008 (2008, 2H)(Figure 1).Figure 1: Hot money in China after adjustmentForeignDirectCurrentHotSome people says that the huge inflow of hot money is the reason for the increasing price of stock price and property price. In order to check this point, here we give two figures about the Shanghai Stock index and Property (资产) Price index of different regions including ShangHai, Shengzhen, Beijing.Figure 2: Shanghai Stock IndexFigure 3: Property Price index.We find that Stock prices peaked in October 2008, and thereafter began a downward trend(Figure 2). Growth in property prices began to fall in the first half of 2008 (c) (Figure 3) althoughthe hot money inflow go to its peak at the same time.Figure 4: RMB exchange rate and interest rate parityInterestRMBForwardChange of From the above figure 4, we find that the RMB forward exchange rate shifted after therapid appreciation of the RMB spot exchange rate, and deviated from interest rateparity from late-2007 until the autumn of 2008. The distance from interest rate parity widened most in the first half of 2008. This is because spot exchange rates are underthe control of the authorities while forward exchange rates are not, and their appreciation reflected market pa rticipants’ expectation of spot rate appreciation in the following period. As a consequence, the RMB forward exchange rate movedtoward appreciation, and the difference between the RMB forward rate and spot ratebegan to deviate from interest rate parity in May 2007, peaking in March 2008.Figure 5: Returns from arbitrage transactions using RMB forward exchangerateQuestion 1: From fighre1,2,3, do you agree with the such idea that the huge hot money inflow is the main force that pushes the Chinese stock price and property price increase and raises the bubbles. Why?Question 2: With the figure 1, 4, 5 would you please explain the relationship between RMB appreciation and hot money inflow by the asset market approach, say, the covered interest differential equation and covered interest parity.浙江财经学院2009~2010学年第一学期《国际金融(双语)》课程期末考试试卷( A 卷)答案PART I: Multiple choice(10*1=10)1-5 AAAAB 6-10 ACACC 11-15 ADCCB 16-20 ABBBA21-25 CCAAD 26-30CACCAPART II TRUTH OR FALSE(10*1.5=15)1T 2 F 3 T 4T 5F. 6T 7T 8T 9 F 10 TPART III: Questions(6*6=36)Question 1:POSSIBLE RESPONSE:Current account balance: $346 - 354 + 480 - 348 + 153 - 142 = $135Official settlements balance: $346 - 354 + 480 - 348 +153 -142 + 252 – 352 + 154 = $189Change in official reserve assets (net) = -official settlements balance = -$189.The country is increasing its net holdings of official reserve assets.Question 2:POSSIBLE RESPONSE:a)From the point of view of the U.S.-based investor, the expected uncovered interest differential is [(1+0.03)*1.77/1.8]-(1+0.02)=-0.0072. Because the differential is negative, the U.S –based investor should stay at home, investing in dollar-denominated bonds, if he bases his decision on the difference in expected reurns.b) If there is substantial uncovered investment flowing from Britain to the United States, this increases the supply of pounds in the spot exchange market. There is downward pressure on the spot exchange rate to drop below $1.8/pound. The pound teds to depreciate.Question 3:POSSIBLE RESPONSE:Overshooting occurs because in this sticky price version of the monetary approach, prices are assumed to be fixed in the short run and completely flexible in the long run.A considerable amount of time must pass for the increase in money supply to lead to an increase in domestic prices. Thus, purchasing power parity is more realistically assumed to hold in the long run but not in the short run. Because prices are sticky at first, the increase in money supply drives down domestic interest rates. This shift favors foreign currency assets which results in immediate depreciation of the domestic currency. As prices adjust, the domestic currency reverts back to its new long run equilibrium.Question4、Assume that a government has become committed to maintaining a fixed exchange rate that officially values foreign currencies less, and the domestic currency (here the dollar) more, than the free market equilibrium rate. The official rate is, say, $1.0 per pound sterling. This exchange controls result in considerable costs to a country whose government imposes them. Describe these costs and the role that bribery and parallel markets can play in economies with exchange controls. Figure: Welfare Losses from Exchange ControlsPOSSIBLE RESPONSE:The exchange controls require exporters to turn over all their revenues from foreign buyers to the government. The government, in turn, gives them $1.0 in domestic bank deposits for each pound sterling they have earned. In Figure 20.2, the exchange control limits the foreign currency available to 30 billion pounds, which is the amount earned by the country’s exporters at the exchange rate of $1.0 per pound. Even if those who most value the limited foreign currency get it, the country suffers a loss of well being equal to the triangular area depicted by CEA.Actual exchange control regimes are likely to have other effects and costs. One such example is the efforts evade exchange controls. People are frustrated when they are not allowed to buy foreign exchange, even though they are willing to pay more than the recipients of foreign exchange will get from the government when these holders sell their foreign currency. The frustrated demanders will look for other ways to obtain foreign exchange. One way is to bribe the government functionaries in charge of determining the official approvals. Another is to offer more to recipients of foreign exchange than the government is offering. In this way a second foreign exchange market, a parallel market or black market, develops as a way for private demanders and sellers of foreign exchange to evade exchange controls. Parallel markets exist in most countries that have exchange controls.5. Use the standard IS-LM-FE framework and assume the country begins at a triple intersection under floating exchange rate. What effect will the following have on domestic interest rates, output levels, and the official settlements balance, assuming low capital mobility?(you are suggested explain with figure)a.The central bank increases the money supply.b.The government increases its spending.POSSIBLE RESPONSE:a.The LM curve shifts to the right, and the country moves to a new short-runequilibrium at the intersection of the IS curve and the new LM curve.The domestic interest rate decreases, real GDP increases, and the officialsettlements balance goes into deficit. With the increase in the moneysupply, it is temporarily greater than money demand. To bring about anequilibrium in the money market, interest rates must fall. The fall ininterest rates increases interest-sensitive spending, so the GDP outputlevel increases. There is now a payment deficit because the newintersection of the IS and LM curves takes place to the right of the FEcurve.b.The IS curve shifts to the right, and the country moves to a new short-runequilibrium at the intersection of the LM curve and the new IS curve.Real GDP increases, the domestic interest rate increases, and the officialsettlements balance goes into deficit. This new intersection occurs to theright of the relatively steep FE curve, which corresponds to a paymentsdeficit.The figure is neglected.6. Explain the effects of expanding the money supply on the economy of a country with fixed exchange rates. (Assume the country begins at a triple intersection , you are suggested explain with figure)POSSIBLE RESPONSE:Beginning from an external balance, an expansion in the money supply increases bank liquidity. In the short run, as banks compete with each other to lend money, interest rates are bid down. The fall in interest rates causes some holders of financial assets denominated in the domestic currency to seek higher returns abroad. The international capital outflow causes the financial account to deteriorate. the currency of this country will under the pressure of depreciate, thus the central bank should intervene the foreign market by buying the domestic currency. Thus the concretionary monetary policy will be applied.Finally we will find it that the expansionary monetary policy can not make effect on the economy..The figure is neglected.Part III, Reading and analysisReading 1 ,9 scoreQuestion1:Why the spokesperson said. "With the BOP account moving closer to equilibrium, the basis for large-scale appreciation of the RMB exchange rate does not exist,"POSSIBLE RESPONSE:The policy makers usually will pursuer both the external balance and internal balance, the external balance means that the Balance of Payments or the current account balance plus the financial account balance is close to zero. In this situation, it means that the export value (including goods, services and financial products) is equal to the import value in China. Thus in the foreign exchange market the supply of foreign currency is similar to the demand of the foreign currency and the foreign exchange market is close to the equilibrium. The values of Chinese currency RMB will not experience the appreciation pressure more. So the spokesperson said the basis for large-scale appreciation of the RMB exchange rate does not exist. This basis means the BOP account moving closer to equilibrium.Question2: Why the Chinese Central bank would like to proceed the reform of the Renminbi (RMB)exchange rate regime to enhance the RMB exchange rate flexibility.

Explain the difference between stocks and bonds.答案:Stocks represent ownership in a company and give investors the right to share in the company's profits and voting rights. Bonds, on the other hand, are debt securities issued by companies or governments to raise capital. Bondholders lend money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity.2. What factors can affect currency exchange rates?答案:Currency exchange rates can be influenced by factors such as interest rates, inflation, political stability, economic performance, and market speculation. Changes in these factors can cause the value of a currency to fluctuate relative to other currencies.3. What is the difference between a mutual fund and an exchange-traded fund (ETF)?答案:A mutual fund is a pooled investment vehicle that collects money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities. Investors in mutual funds buy shares directly from the fund at the net asset value (NAV) price. An ETF, on the other hand, is a type of investment fund that is traded on a stock exchange like a common stock. ETFs can be bought and sold throughout the trading day at market prices, and their prices may deviate slightly from the underlying asset value.四、解释题1. Explain the concept of compound interest.答案:Compound interest is the interest that is earned on both the initial principal amount and any accumulated interest from previous periods. In other words, it is interest on interest. As interest is added to the principal, the total amount grows over time, and subsequently, the amount of interest earned in each period also increases. This compounding effect allows investments to grow at an accelerated rate compared to simple interest, where interest is only calculated on the initial principal.2. What is diversification in investment and why is it important?答案:Diversification refers to the practice of spreading investments across different assets, industries, or geographical regions to reduce risk. By diversifying a portfolio, an investor can decrease the impact of any single investment's performance on the overall portfolio. Different investments may have different risk levels and may react differently to economic or market conditions. Therefore, if one investment performs poorly, other investments in the portfolio may provide a buffer against potential losses. Diversification can help to achieve a more balanced risk-return profile and enhance the potential for long-term investment success.五、翻译题Translate the following sentence into English:中国货币政策的调整对全球金融市场有重要影响。

In 6 months , it will pay £30,000 for the car. It worried that pound ster1ing might rise sharply from the current rate($1.90). So, the company bought a 6 month pound call (supposed contract size = £35,000) with a strike price of $1.90 for a premium of 2.3 cents/£.(1)Is hedging in the options market better if the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months?(2)what did the exchange rate have to be for the company to break even?(15%)Solution:(1)If the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would exercise the pound call option. The sum of the strike price and premium is$1.90 + $0.023 = $1.9230/£This is bigger than $1.92.So hedging in the options market is not better.(2) when we say the company can break even, we mean that hedging or not hedging doesn’t matter. And only when (strike price + premium )= the exchange rate ,hedging or not doesn’t matter.So, the exchange rate =$1.923/£.6. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of fixed exchange rate system.(15%)textbook page50 答案以教材第50 页为准PART Ⅳ: Diagram(10%)The strike price for a call is $1.67/£. The premium quoted at the Exchange is $0.0222 per British pound. Diagram the profit and loss potential, and the break-even price for this call optionSolution:Following diagram shows the profit and loss potential, and the break-even price of this put option:PART Ⅴ:Additional QuestionSuppose that you are expecting revenues of Y 100,000 from Japan in one month.
