A floating exchange rate system in which some government intervention still takes place. A government may announce that it will let its currency float, that is, it will let the currency's value be determined by the forces of supply and demand in the market. However, the government may secretly allow its central bank to intervene in the exchange market to avoid too much appreciation of the currency (hurts exports) or too much depreciation (increases inflation). 5, record 1, English, - dirty%20float

Under a managed float or a fixed exchange rate system, whether or not capital inflows create inflationary pressures will depend on whether the inflows reflect an upward shift in the money demand function - that is, an increase in money demanded for each interest rate level - or are due to other factors, such as a drop in international interest rates or an increase in the domestic productivity of capital. 4, record 3, English, - fixed%20exchange%20rate%20system

En régime de flottement dirigé ou de taux fixe, les entrées de capitaux auront un impact inflationniste ou non selon qu'elles répondent à un déplacement de la courbe de demande de monnaie vers le haut - donc à une augmentation des volumes demandés pour chaque taux d'intérêt -, à une chute des taux d'intérêt internationaux, ou à une amélioration de la productivité intérieure du capital. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20de%20change%20fixe

En el marco de una flotación dirigida o un sistema de tipos de cambio fijos, el que las corrientes de capital creen o no presiones inflacionarias dependerá de si reflejan un movimiento ascendente de la función de demanda de dinero-es decir, un aumento de esa demanda en cada nivel de las tasas de interés-o si obedecen a otros factores, como la disminución de las tasas de interés internacionales o el incremento de la productividad interna del capital. 1, record 3, Spanish, - sistema%20de%20tipos%20de%20cambio%20fijos
