Abstract: Abstract This chapter investigates the extent to which the exchange rate deprecation and volatility shocks drive money demand in South Africa. Evidence indicates that the exchange rate depreciation reduces money demand, and this supports the prevalence of the currency substitution effect. Furthermore, the decline in money demand is accentuated by elevated exchange rate volatility. This evidence suggests that the exchange rate depreciation shocks and the accompanying elevated exchange rate volatility shocks matter for real money demand. Thus, both the exchange rate depreciation shocks and elevated exchange rate volatility shocks matter for real money demand. Hence, policymakers should consider the adverse effects of the exchange rate depreciation and volatility shocks on money demand. The information on money supply growth has implications for economic growth prospects and inflation dynamics.
