The Mechanism of Imported Price Stability
A country with a history of high and volatile inflation decides to fix its exchange rate to the currency of a large, economically stable partner that consistently maintains a low inflation rate (e.g., 2%). Explain the primary economic mechanism through which this policy is expected to lower the high-inflation country's domestic inflation rate over time.

A developing nation is experiencing persistent and high domestic inflation, averaging 20% annually. The nation's central bank is considering a new policy to achieve price stability: pegging its currency at a fixed rate to the U.S. dollar, which is backed by an economy with a stable and low inflation rate of around 2%. Based on the relationship between exchange rate regimes and domestic price levels, what is the most likely long-term outcome if this policy is successfully implemented?
