Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
CONT

The existing set of monetary arrangements in Europe -- the exchange rate mechanism (ERM) of the European Monetary System (EMS) -- has reduced the need for a stable demand for money in the member countries.

The other member countries have dedicated their monetary policies primarily to stabilizing the values of their currencies vis-à-vis the Deutsche mark.
