exchange rate regime in countries in transition

Link to Spanish article?

Should this article be linked to the article Regímenes cambiarios? The articles are strucured very differently and have different coverage (the Spanish article is far more detailed), but both do discuss exchange rate regimes.

The reason why a country may want to switch to Fixed/Pegged Exchange Rate Policy are as follows: 1. Instability in its BOP 2. To reduce speculation in its economy 3. To facilitate or attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through a stable and certain business enevironment 4. To address major Macro-economic problems such as Inflation (Reducing Imported Inflation), and Unemployment

As well, Floating Exchange Rate Policy is found to be viable to Economically Stable Countries such as the USA, RSA, and UK where their currency are able to compete on the Forex Market (Hard Currencies). Below may add to the advantages and reasons of switching to Floating Exchange Rate Policy:

a) It reflects the real performance of your economy with reference to other economies b) Through the 'Price Effect', the market forces will clear all the arbitrage possibilities thereby reaching to Equilibrium Exchange Rate and BOP (Nurtsse) c) Free Floating Policies reduces economic and Political ties between governments in trade d) It induces competion hence efficiency in the product markets and also raises the living standards of within an economy

NB: Remember each of the described policies above have also their disadvantages: (Solusi University: Jedzah)

Why the hyphen?

Why the hyphen? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 19:51, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

To clarify the compound modifier. See WP:HYPHEN. Jim.henderson (talk) 20:06, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's just plain idiotic. There is no such rule in the grammmar and this case is not even concretely covered in the article WP:HYPHEN. If that were the case, we would have to hyphenate half the English language: "old-age home", "third-party insurance","water-bottle holder", "wine-bottle cooler", "world-map publishers", "cotton-shirt manufacturers", "steering-wheel cover", "toilet-seat cover", "bird-flu injection". Besides, who needs clarification? are there people out there who might have thought it is "exchange rate-regime"? What would be a "rate regime"? There are cases where one might not be sure as to the lexeme coupling, such as in "city-bus driver" (driver who drives city buses) and "city bus-driver" (a bus driver that lives/ works in a city. "Exchange rate regime" is not one such case. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 22:43, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
If it's any consolation, I for one agree with your view on this. There are times when WP:HYPHEN makes sense and should be applied, but I think it has been unduly applied to a number of finance, economics, and science articles. I have intended for quite some time now to adopt the phrasing and spelling that is prevalent in the academic literature for all exchange rate related articles, but I have been busy with family matters and haven't yet mustered the stamina to wrangle with the grammar clerics that will surely swoop down from the skies the moment the article undergoes a name change.

Sounds good to me. I saw a query and offfered an explanation, not understanding that it was actually a complaint or proposal in query form. Anyway most such renames can be handled quietly by waiting a few days between the query and the (explicit) proposal, and again between proposal and action. Quietly, not silently.
