Currencies of the World
Exchange Rate Regimes: If a currency is named, the country pegs its currency to the
named currency, and the parity is shown in parenthesis. For example,
"US-$ (2.7)" indicates that a currency is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a
parity of 2.7 currency units per US-$. In some cases where there is a large discrepancy
between official rates and black-market rates, the former are indicated as "of",
and the latter are indicated as "bm". SDR=Special Drawing Right of the
International Monetary Fund. A currency followed by "(lim.flex.)" indicates that
the currency exhibits limited flexibility vis-à-vis the currency named in the regime
column. Other notation used includes: float=floating exchange rate; m.float=managed float;
ESM=member of the European Monetary System; composite=peg is to a basket of currencies;
indicators=exchange rate is adjusted frequently to a set of indicators.
