Abstract

Connection between interest rate and foreign exchange is important because of the economic volatility of the two variables, which has an impact on several macroeconomic indicators: inflation, real income, exports and imports. This papers aims to establish a series of characteristics regarding the impact of interest rate in exchange rate volatility. This kind of analysis regarding the link between the interest rate differential and the exchange rate is called Uncovered Interest Parity. In Romania, the currency regime of managed floating with no preannounce path for the exchange rate and the inefficiency of exchange rate channel involves a poor relationship between exchange rate differential and exchange rate.
