Abstract

This paper examines the effectiveness of the coordination channel of foreign exchange intervention in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The theoretical approach is based on a model in which traders' confidence in the fundamentals depends on exchange rate misalignments and central bank intervention. The presence of the monetary authority in the foreign exchange market may increase traders' confidence and speed up the mean reversion of the exchange rates. The empirical section of this paper is based on a Smooth Transition Regression GARCH-M model. The results suggest that foreign exchange intervention via the coordination channel has been effective over the period 2000–2013.
