. Suppose the Swiss National Bank (SNB) stabilizes (or wants to keep fixed) the value of the franc at its initial exchange rate, $1.05/CHF, as Swiss households and firms increase their demand for U.S. goods, services, and assets. Show on the figure the "excess" demand or supply of the Swiss Franc and describe what the Swiss National Bank would do through intervention in the foreign exchange market, in both francs and dollars, in order to accomplish this objective.
Consider our simple Supply and Demand model of exchange rate determination. Think of the U.S. as the domestic country and Great Britain (GB) as the foreign country. Let "e" stand for the domestic price of one unit of the foreign currency. £ If eexP (i.e., the expected exchange rate) decreased, ceteris paribus, then we would expect an increase in the supply of £ and an increase in e. O an increase in the demand for £ and a decrease in e. O a decrease in the demand for £ and an increase in e. O an increase in the demand for £ and an increase in e. O a decrease in the demand for £ and a decrease in e.
