Using the Jeanne (2007) optimization framework, this paper finds that international reserves held by the ECCB are generally adequate for a variety of external current account and capital account shocks. However, the ECCB would be challenged in the event of moderate to severe deposit outflows. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/077 606 $aReserves (Accounting)$zCaribbean Area 606 $aMonetary unions$zCaribbean Area 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aCapital account$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aCurrent account$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange reserves$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aInternational reserves$2imf 606 $aMonetary base$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMoney supply$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aReserves (Accounting) 615 0$aMonetary unions 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aCapital account 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aCurrent account 615 7$aDebts, External 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aForeign exchange reserves 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aInternational reserves 615 7$aMonetary base 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aMoney supply 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 676 $a332.152 700 $aSamuel$b Wendell$01595846 701 $aDehesa$b Mario$01816010 701 $aPineda$b Emilio$01816173 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973831503321 996 $aOptimal Reserves in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union$94371918 997 $aUNINA
