Policy Impact on Currency Valuation
Imagine you are an economic advisor to the government of a country that has a flexible exchange rate system but whose central bank is not independent. The government proposes to finance a large new spending program by significantly increasing the money supply, a policy that economists predict will cause high and volatile inflation. Evaluate the likely impact of this policy on the international value of the country's currency. Justify your evaluation by explaining the economic mechanisms at play.
