Exchange rate interventions and inflation expectations in an inflation targeting economy

Revista de Analisis Economico – Economic Analysis Review, 2018, vol. 33, issue 2, 43-78

Abstract: We explore the impact of exchange rate interventions on inflation expectations and exchange rates in Chile. We consider two episodes of central bank interventions during the sample period 2007-2012. Our analysis indicate that interventions did have an impact on daily exchange rate returns. In terms of inflation expectations, we find that the intervention program carried out in 2008 had a significant, but relatively short-lived, impact on the distribution of inflation expectations at long horizons. In contrast, the intervention carried out in 2011 shows no relevant impact on the distribution of inflation expectations in Chile.
