Resumen

This document analyses exchange rate regimes in the Caribbean subregion. Caribbean exchange rate regimes are typified into hard and soft pegs. Hard pegs refer to those arrangements that maintain a constant value of the domestic currency in terms of the currency of a major trading partner. The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS); economies established a monetary union in 1983. The Bahamas, Belize and Barbados also fixed the value of their domestic currency in relation to the United States dollar in the middle of the 1970s. Soft pegs are monetary arrangements characterized by a forcefully managed exchange rate. Three countries are included in this category, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago
