This book ? written by leading academics and practitioners in the
field ? brings together cutting edge research on exchange rate
regime and monetary union issues. There is a particular focus on
the implications for member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) which is itself working towards forming a monetary union for
the Gulf States.The relatively dramatic movements in the US dollar
in the recent past, and also in the early 1990s, have called the
practice of pegging to the US dollar into question for a group of
countries that predominantly rely on hydrocarbons as their primary
export. The book considers the key issues which must be addressed
by the GCC in trying to form a monetary union for the Gulf
countries and also the rigid pegging of member states? currencies
to the US dollar. The proposed monetary union raises clear issues
in terms of the appropriateness of such a regime for these
countries and whether, for example, the necessary institutional
mechanisms are in place ahead of the proposed union. Currency Union
and Exchange Rate Issues brings together the perspectives of a
group of experts who focus on these important issues, and provide
analysis of the policy options. Academics, policymakers and
postgraduates in international finance will find much to consider
and learn from in this informative book.
