Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) The methodology by which members of the EMS maintain their currency exchange rates within an agreed-upon range with respect to other member countries. Exchange Rate Mechanism Prior to the adoption of the euro, a methodology for reconciling differing exchange rates between currencies who wished to participate in the single European currency. Established in the 1979, it was known as a "semi-pegged" system in which currencies were variable with respect to each other only within a certain range. After the introduction of the euro in 1999, the exchange rate mechanism was replaced by ERM II, which reconciles exchange rates for countries wishing to join the eurozone.
