Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100 + eN bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140 - eN bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20% the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142 - eN and the supply of dollars falls to 99 + eN. How should the central bank of Mexico react to this change?
