Abstract: This is the keynote address for the IPEA conference "ALCA and MERCOSUL: The Brazilian Economy and the Processes of Subregional and Hemispheric Integration." It discusses the issue of whether Mercosur needs closer macroeconomic policy harmonization, and in particular an exchange-rate stabilization agreement or even a single currency. The option for monetary union is also considered. Three views are offered on the links between exchange rates and regional integration.
