Eurozone Arrangement
▪ In 1999, the euro replaced 11 national currencies
in Europe.
▪ The countries that participate in the euro make up
a region called the eurozone.
▪ Since all of these countries use the same
currency, transactions between them do not
require any exchange of currencies.

Forecasting Exchange Rates
Technical Forecasting
▪ Involves the use of historical exchange rate data to
predict future values.
▪ A computer program can be developed to detect
particular historical trends.
▪ There are also several time-series models that examine
moving averages and thus allow a forecaster to identify
patterns, such as currency tending to decline in value
after a rise in moving average over three consecutive
periods.

Forecasting Exchange Rates

variables and exchange rates.
▪ Given current values of these variables along with their
historical impact on a currency’s value, corporations can
develop exchange rate projections.
