English Abstract

In the last two decades, several studies studied the impact of exchange rate regimes on economic growth.

For the purpose of studying the relation between pegging margin for pegged exchange rate regimes and economic growth, a panel dataset of 53 countries for the period 2000 – 2017 is used in this thesis.

The study utilizes the generalized method of moments (GMM) to analyze the impact of pegging margin for pegged exchange rate regimes on GDP per capita.

The results show that the growth rate is higher in countries with the higher fluctuation margin for exchange rate.

In countries with no margin, the growth rate is the lowest.

Moreover, the other control variables show that economic growth is enhanced by higher secondary schooling, lower government consumption as share of GDP, better maintenance of the rule of law, lower inflation, more of FDI and improvements in the terms of trade.

Moreover, the results revealed that soft peg is less harmful than hard peg to economic growth.
