Journal of African Business, 2014, vol. 15, issue 2, 114-121

Abstract: The study analyzes the impact of central bank intervention on the volatility of the exchange rate in Zambia during the period of 1996-2013. The empirical findings reveal a statistically weak negative impact of intervention on exchange rate volatility, suggesting that other policy instruments are required to augment foreign exchange interventions in dampening volatility in the exchange rate.
