user
Strategies to ensure the stability of a country's currency include introducing strict capital controls such as limits on the amount of money that can be taken out of the country or restrictions on when transactions may take place, pegging the currency to another stable currency, and using economic policy measures such as taxation and interest rates to manipulate aggregate demand and control inflation. Strict capital controls are often used in cases where there is a large exodus of capitol looking to exploit current variations in exchange rates, while pegging the currency helps stabilize prices by limiting fluctuations in supply and demand. By using macroeconomic policies such as taxes or interest rates, governments can create conditions that help maintain price stability without requiring constant adjustment of the exchange rate.
