Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of the real exchange rate in macroeconomic equilibrium. The supply-side equilibrium exchange rate, that level of the real exchange rate at which (relative) inflation is constant, is derived from a simple macro-model and related to the standard "NAIRU" model. The stabilizing role of monetary policy in adjustment towards the supply-side equilibrium exchange rate is analyzed both before and after entry to the exchange rate mechanism of the European Monetar System. Resolution of the conflict between supply-side and external equilibrium produces a stricter definition of the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate of J. Williamson.
