During the past fifteen years, however, intervention in most countries, including Canada, has risen steadily in both frequency and intensity. This paper presents new empirical evidence on the profitability and effectiveness of Canadian intervention from 1975 to 1988. The results suggest that the government's foreign exchange operations have been very profitable and have tended to be stabilizing, in the sense that authorities were typically pushing the exchange rate towards its long-run trend and helping to reduce short-run volatility in the market.$$7Abstract 000001123 520__ $$aLorsque, après l'effondrement du système de Bretton Woods, les grands pays industriels ont décidé d'adopter un régime de changes flexibles contrôlés, de nombreux observateurs croyaient que cela réduirait ou même éliminerait la nécessité des interventions officielles sur les marchés des changes. Or, depuis quinze ans, la fréquence et le volume des interventions augmentent régulièrement dans la plupart des pays, y compris le Canada. L'étude présente de nouveaux résultats empiriques concernant la rentabilité et l'efficacité des interventions de l'État canadien entre 1975 et 1988. D'après ces résultats, les opérations sur devises de l'État canadien ont été très rentables et ont eu tendance à stabiliser le marché des changes, en ce sens que les autorités, orientant généralement le taux de change vers sa tendance à long terme, contribuaient à réduire sa volatilité à court terme sur le marché.$$7Résumé 000001123 540__ $$aCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode$$fCC-BY-4.0 000001123 6531_ $$aExchange rates 000001123 6531_ $$aTaux de change 000001123 7001_ $$aMurray, John 000001123 7001_ $$aZelmer, Mark 000001123 7001_ $$aWilliamson, Shane 000001123 8301_ $$aTechnical Report 000001123 8301_ $$aRapport technique 000001123 8564_ $$uhttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/1123/files/Measuring%20the%20Profitability%20and%20Effectiveness%20of%20Foreign%20Exchange%20Market%20Intervention-Some%20Canadian%20evidence.pdf$$9068384b2-2f07-4df8-8b54-7afa74f993d4$$s3523543$$zFile Source: Digitized from the Bank of Canada Archives, 2024 000001123 909CO $$ooai:www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca:1123$$pbibliographic 000001123 980__ $$aStaff Research 000001123 980__ $$aRDM 000001123 980__ $$aDigitized 000001123 991__ $$aPublic
