Some observers suggest that the United States, ideally in conjunction with the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank, undertake sterilized intervention to prevent further dollar depreciation.
The official press release of the finance ministers and central bank governors of the G7, however, stated that the main results of their report could be summarized as follows: * Sterilized intervention affects long run exchange rates much less than non-sterilized intervention * Sterilized intervention can influence exchange rates only in the short run * Coordinated intervention can be much more effective relative to intervention by the central bank of a single country.
While sterilized intervention may curtail the monetary expansion, it can become both increasingly difficult to implement and costly over time.
