3. The currency stabilization fundSuppose the Brazilian government recognizes that its reliance on soya exports makes it vulnerable to the Dutch Disease. On the one hand, if soyaprices increase, the Brazilian real will appreciate, the real exchange rate will increase, and the nation's exports will become more expensive for othercountries to buy. On the other hand, if soya prices fall, the Brazilian real will depreciate, and the country's revenues will decline. The Braziliangovernment creates a currency stabilization fund to maintain a stable exchange rate to avoid a negative outcome. To stabilize the value of a currencywithin a certain range, the stabilization fund managers take one of the following actions:• If the real depreciates below some threshold value (a floor) per real, the fund managers will purchase the excess supply of reais inthe international exchange market to increase the value of the real to at least the floor value.• If the real appreciates above some threshold value (a ceiling) per real, the fund managers will sell the excess supply of reais to lowerits value to at least the ceiling value.Consider the following scenario:Brazil establishes a currency stabilization fund to keep the exchange rate between $2 per Brazilian real and $5 per Brazilian real.Initially, the market exchange rate is within the allowed range at $4 per Brazilian real, as shown by the intersection of the demand (D₁)and supply (S₁) curves for the Brazilian real on the following graph. Suppose that due to an increase in the world demand for soya,Brazil is able to export more soya, and the demand for the Brazilian real increases from D₁ to D₂.On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to show the new exchange rate resulting from an increase in the world demand for soya.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100 + eN bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140 - eN bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20% the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142 - eN and the supply of dollars falls to 99 + eN. How should the central bank of Mexico react to this change?
