Abstract

The efficiency of the Australian official forward exchange market is tested for the period September 1974 to June 1981. The results indicate that while the 90-days US dollar forward rate was an unbiased predictor of the future spot rate for the period as a whole, substantial differences between the two rates have been evident over prolonged short-run periods. Such evidence raises some important policy questions about the existing arrangements in the forward exchange market.
