Abstract: We have had two days of intense, fruitful and profound discussions. The experiences of a number of countries have been analysed, and some of the most important policy issues faced by central bankers have been highlighted. During my keynote address, I discussed some exchange rate-related issues that I believe are of importance for central bankers. Among these, perhaps the most current one relates to what central bankers in small open economies should do in the light of aggressive policy actions by the Federal Reserve and/or the European Central Bank. Should central banks in small open economies such as Thailand or Colombia follow the Fed, or should they pursue fully independent policies, based on their own policy rules?.
