INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
 Smithsonian Agreement (Dec. 1971) :The band of
exchange rate movement was expanded from the original
+ or – 1% to + or – 2.25%
 Members of European Economic Community (EEC),
however decided on a narrow band of (+ or – )1.125.
 This scale down /European version of the fixed exchange
rate system is called the SNAKE
 EEC currencies moved concurrently with the wider brand
(+ or _ 2.25 %)– hence called snake
 EEC countries adopted snake because they felt, stable
exchange rate among EEC countries, is essential to
promote intra EEC trade and economic integration
2
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
 The snake arrangement was replaced by the
European Monetary system(EMS) in 1979
 EMS was originally proposed by German Chancellor
Helmut Schmidt in 1979
 OBJECTIVES OF EMS:
 To establish a zone of Monitory Stability in Europe
 To coordinate exchange rate policies vis.vis. The non
EMS countries
 To pave way for the eventual European Monetary
Union.
 All EEC member countries except UK ,Greece joined the
EMS

instruments of EMS:

(B) The Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM)
(a) The European Currency Unit: This is basket
currency constructed as a weighted average of the
currencies of member countries of the Europeans
Union(EU)
 Weights are based on Each currency's relative
GNP and share in intra EU trade
 ECU plays an important role in the working of the
Exchange rate Mechanism.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
 (b) The Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM):
 It is a procedure by which EMS member countries collectively
manage their Exchange rates
 The ERM is based on ‘ Parity grid’ system, which is a system
of Par values among EMS currencies
 The par values of EMS currencies in the parity grid are
computed by first defining the par value of EMS currencies in
terms of ECU.
 The currency was allowed to deviate from the parities with
other currencies by a maximum of + or – 2.25%with the
exception of Italian Lira for which maximum deviation of + or –
6%
 In Sept. 1993,the band however was widened to a maximum
of + or – 15%
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Intervention of central Banks
 When a currency reaches upper or lower limit of
band, the Central Banks of both the countries are
required to intervene in FE market to ensure
exchange rate with in the band.
 To intervene, the Central Banks can borrow from a
credit fund to which member countries contribute
gold and foreign reserves.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
MAASTRICHT TREATY
 The EMS members during the course of time were
not committed to coordinate their economic
policies.
 EMS went through series of realignments
(a) Italy, UK pulled out of ERM
(b) High interest rates in Germany resulted in massive
cash inflows to Germany
(c) Italian Lira devalued 2 times- 1985-6% and 1990-3.7%
(d) Subsequently Germany faced substantial budget
deficit. This was not accommodated by monetary
policy
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
MAASTRICHT TREATY (contd..)
(e) Germany not willing to reduce interest rates
fearing inflation
(f) U.K, Italy – not willing to raise interest rates
(g) Italy joined ERM in 12/96
(h) U.K still out side ERM
 In these turbulent situation, European members
met at ‘MAASTRICHT’(Netherlands) in 12/91and signed
‘MAASTRICHT TREATY’
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
MAASTRICHT TREATY (contd..)
 According to this treaty:
(a) EMS irrevocably fix Exchange rates among the member
currencies by 1-1-1999

replacing individual national currencies.
 European Central Bank to be located in Frankfurt
 Germany is solely responsible for issue of common
currency and conducting monetary policy in
EUROZONE
 National Central Banks of individual countries function
like regional member banks of federal Reserve
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
MAASTRICHT TREATY (contd..)

countries (of EMS) agreed to :
