MINT PARITY
• When the currencies of two countries are on a metallic
standard (gold or silver), the rate of exchange between them is
determined on the basis of parity of mint ratios between the
currencies of the two countries. Thus, the theory explaining
the determination of exchange rate between countries which
are on the same metallic standard (say, gold coin standard) is
known as the Mint Parity Theory of foreign exchange rate.
• The parity condition requires that the spot price and the
forward or futures price of a currency pair would be
governed by interest rate differentials between the two
currencies.
• Fixed and Floating are the two extreme exchange rate regimes and
in between these two many combinations of exchange rate
regimes can be possible which may be partly fixed and partly
floating.
