Abstract

. We use a panel data methodology to derive a consistent set of both real effective and bilateral exchange rate misalignments for the G20 currencies. As far as Asia is concerned, two conclusions can be drawn. First, according to our estimations, the five Asian countries in the sample had strongly undervalued currencies at the beginning of 2006. Second, a lack of exchange rate adjustment in Asia has limited impact on other misalignments against the US dollar. Indeed, bilateral misalignments between the USA and any other country mainly depend on real effective misalignments of both countries.
