What are fixed exchange rate system and currency board system?

A fixed exchange rate system is where a country's exchange rate regime under which the government or central bank ties the official exchange rate to another country's currency (or the price of gold). The purpose of a fixed exchange rate system is to maintain a country's currency value within a very narrow band. Also known as pegged exchange rate. Fixed rates provide greater certainty for exporters and importers. This also helps the government maintain low inflation, which in the long run should keep interest rates down and stimulate increased trade and investment. however I'm not sure what a currency board system is....sorry.

What is a pegged skirt?

A pegged skirt tapers towards the bottom - much like pegged jeans have legs that are wider at the thighs but taper to be just wide enough for the foot to get through at the ankle. Pegged skirts may not taper as drastically as pegged trousers and may end up at the knee rather than ankle.

What are interest rate swaps?

In interest rate swaps, each party agrees to pay either a fixed or a floating rate in a particular currency to the other party. The fixed or floating rate is multiplied with the Notional Principal Amount (NPA). This notional amount is not exchanged between the parties involved in the swap. This NPA is used only to calculate the interest flow between the two parties. The most common interest rate swap is where one party 'A' pays a fixed rate to the other party 'B' while receiving a floating rate which is pegged to a reference rate like LIBOR.
