A South American country has had a high rate of inflation. Recently, its exchange rate was 15 cruzados per dollar; that is, one dollar will buy 15 cruzados. It is likely that the country will continue to experience a 25% inflation rate and that the U.S. will continue at a 3% inflation rate. Assume that the exchange rate will vary the same as the inflation. In this situation, one dollar will buy how many cruzados 5 years from now?
Assume that initially nominal exchange rate is E1=4 ($1 = ±4) and domestic (Turkey) inflation rate is TTR=10% percent while the US inflation rate is tUS*=0%. If %3D export value of Turkey equals ± 200 billion and it's import is $80 billion. Initially Turkey NX (net export) would display t billion deficit. If the nominal exchange rate increases suddenly from E1=4 to E2=5,5 while the price levels are still fixed (at the first step of J Curve) NX would be t billion deficit in short run. If the real exchange rate elasticity of export is 0,4 and real exchange rate elasticity of import is -0,4. NX would converge to t billion deficit in long run.
