IMF Country paper-Russian Federation: Selected Issues
October 21, 2013--A. Introduction
1. Theory does not suggest a definite prediction about the relationship between exchange rate and interest rate volatility. There is widely believed to be a trade-off, with higher
interest rate volatility resulting from a monetary policy geared towards stabilizing the exchange rate,in particular if there is a high pass-through from exchange rates to prices.
Indeed, Mohanti and Klau (2004) find support for the "fear of floating" hypothesis in emerging economies, in as much as the exchange rate features prominently in monetary policy makers' reaction function, with interest rates
responding strongly to exchange rate changes. Another source of interest rate volatility, however,
would be unanchored inflation and exchange rate expectations, reflecting a low degree of monetary
policy credibility. Thus, the degree of interest rate volatility depends on both the policymakers'
reaction function and their degree of credibility (Calvo and Rheinhard 2002).
