Consider a small open economy with no perfect capital mobility and fixed exchange rate regime. If there is strong expectations about the depreciation of domestic currency in the near future, what will happen with a demand for domestic bonds and capital movements today? What will happen with the stock of international reserves? Please show your solutions using the model that we have developed (be sure to use BB and GM curves). If country has low level of reserves, what could happen with the domestic currency today?
