Crawling pegIn macroeconomics, crawling peg is an exchange rate regime that allows depreciation or appreciation to happen gradually. It is usually seen as a part of a fixed exchange rate regime. The system is a method to fully use the key attributes of the fixed exchange regimes, as well as the flexibility of the floating exchange rate regime. The system is shaped to peg at a certain value, but at the same time is designed to "glide" to respond to external market uncertainties.
Sterilization (economics)In macroeconomics, sterilization is action taken by a country's central bank to counter the effects on the money supply caused by a balance of payments surplus or deficit. This can involve open market operations undertaken by the central bank whose aim is to neutralize the impact of associated foreign exchange operations. The opposite is unsterilized intervention, where monetary authorities have not insulated their country's domestic money supply and internal balance against foreign exchange intervention.
Marché des capitauxLes marchés des capitaux permettent la rencontre entre les agents économiques ayant un excédent de capitaux et les agents ayant des besoins de financement. Ils se subdivisent en trois compartiments : le marché financier, le marché monétaire et le marché obligataire. Les marchés des capitaux peuvent se définir comme les marchés où s'échangent des capitaux contre des titres. Malgré le décloisonnement des marchés, il reste utile de distinguer le marché monétaire, marché des capitaux de court terme et le marché financier, marché des capitaux de long terme.
Balance des capitauxIn macroeconomics and international finance, the capital account, also known as the capital and financial account records the net flow of investment transaction into an economy. It is one of the two primary components of the balance of payments, the other being the current account. Whereas the current account reflects a nation's net income, the capital account reflects net change in ownership of national assets.
