CONCLUSION""; ""APPENDIX""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper investigates the sources of fluctuations in the rand-U.S. dollar exchange rate in 2001 and 2002 using an empirical exchange rate model which identifies aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and nominal disturbances as possible sources for exchange rate fluctuations. According to our results, nominal disturbances explain by far most of the rand depreciation in the final quarter of 2001. The fact that the nominal effective exchange rate also depreciated sharply suggests the nominal disturbances were domestically generated. From a preliminary examination of the relative movements in policy interest rates in South Africa and the United States, along with growth rates in both narrow and broad monetary aggregates in South Africa, it is difficult to isolate the underlying cause of the nominal disturbances in 2001 and 2002. Clearly, the task remains a challenging one with the empirical tools available. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2003/252 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zSouth Africa 606 $aMonetary policy$zSouth Africa 606 $aMonetary policy$zUnited States 606 $aInterest rates$zSouth Africa 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aDepreciation$2imf 606 $aExchange rate adjustments$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aNominal effective exchange rate$2imf 606 $aOpen Economy Macroeconomics$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 607 $aSouth Africa$xEconomic policy 607 $aSouth Africa$2imf 615 0$aForeign exchange rates 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aInterest rates 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aDepreciation 615 7$aExchange rate adjustments 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aNominal effective exchange rate 615 7$aOpen Economy Macroeconomics 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aSaving and investment 700 $aGottschalk$b Jan$01815629 701 $aBhundia$b Ashok$01815630 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bAfrican Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972535603321 996 $aSources of Nominal Exchange Rate Fluctuations in South Africa$94371093 997 $aUNINA
