How does a central bank maintain a pegged exchange rate?
Excuse me, could you please explain in detail how does a central bank maintain a pegged exchange rate? I understand that it involves setting a fixed value for the domestic currency against another currency, but I'm curious about the specific mechanisms and steps the central bank takes to ensure this value remains stable. Does it involve buying or selling domestic currency on the open market? How does it respond to fluctuations in the market? I'd really appreciate a comprehensive overview of the process.
