A framework for evaluating EM currencies’ fair value
In our recent extended panel assessment on EM FX, we found most currencies have yet to recover ‘fair value’ after the March 2020 overshooting event. Estimates considered; regional stories emerge.
What you will learn:

- Our FX valuation model produces common elasticities for 15 EM economies.
- Model residuals are interpreted as misalignments, decoupled from key economic fundamentals controlled by high-frequency variables.
