Suppose the Russian government recognizes that its reliance on oil exports makes it vulnerable to the Dutch Disease. On the one hand, if oil prices increase, the Russian ruble will appreciate, the real exchange rate will increase, and the nation's exports will become more expensive for other countries to buy. On the other hand, if oil prices fall, the Russian ruble will depreciate, and the country's revenues will decline. The Russian government creates a currency stabilization fund to maintain a stable exchange rate to avoid a negative outcome. To stabilize the value of a currency within a certain range, the stabilization fund managers take one of the following actions: • fí the ruble depreciates below some threshold value (a floor) per ruble, the fund managers will purchase the excess supply of rubles in the international exchange market to increase the value of the ruble to at least the floor value. • if the ruble appreciates above some threshold value (a celing) per ruble, the fund managers will sell the excess supply of rubles to lower its value to at least the ceiling value. Consider the following scenario: Russia establishes a currency stabilization fund to keep the exchange rate between €2 per Russian ruble and €5 per Russian ruble. Initially, the market exchange rate is within the allowed range at €4 per Russian ruble, as shown by the intersection of the demand (D,) and supply (S) curves for the Russian ruble on the following graph. Suppose that due to an increase in the world demand for oil, Russia is able to export more oil, and the demand for the Russian ruble increases from D, to Dy. On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to show the new exchange rate resulting from an increase in the world demand for oil.
