CPI Inflation Rates in Senegal and France (1999–2022) [Figure 7.14]
This line chart compares the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rates for Senegal and France from 1999 to 2022. While the two rates generally move together, Senegal's inflation is significantly more volatile. Despite this volatility, Senegal's average inflation rate since 1999 has been just under 2%, which is strikingly similar to and even closer to the ECB's target than France's average of 1.6%. Both countries experience a dramatic surge in inflation after 2021, with Senegal's rate climbing to nearly 10%.

Exchange Rate Regimes and Inflationary Pressures
Since 1999, Senegal's currency has been maintained at a rigidly fixed value against the currency used in France. Which of the following statements provides the most accurate causal explanation for the observed tendency of the two countries' inflation rates to move in tandem?
Inflation Dynamics under a Fixed Exchange Rate Regime
Inflation Synchronization under a Fixed Exchange Rate
A small developing nation maintains a rigidly fixed exchange rate for its currency against that of a large, stable economic partner. If the developing nation's government implements policies that cause its domestic inflation rate to persistently rise well above that of its economic partner, which of the following outcomes is the most direct and predictable consequence of the exchange rate arrangement?
Inflation Volatility under a Fixed Exchange Rate
If a country rigidly fixes its exchange rate to a large, low-inflation anchor country, it guarantees that its own inflation rate will become less volatile than that of the anchor country.
Evaluating Fixed Exchange Rate Regimes for Inflation Control
An economic advisor proposes that a small country with a history of high inflation should rigidly fix its currency's exchange rate to that of a large, economically stable neighboring country. Which of the following presents the most critical trade-off for the small country if it adopts this policy?
