A target zone differs from a fixed rate regime in allowing a fairly wide range of variation for the exchange rate around some reference rate.

A target zone arrangement is an agreed exchange rate system in which certain countries pledge to maintain their currency exchange rate within a specific fluctuation margin or band. This margins can be set vis-à-vis another currency, a cooperative arrangement (such as the ERMII), or a basket of currencies.

The principal issue in modeling exchange rate dynamics under a target zone regime is the formation of expectations. A naive view would suppose that the exchange rate behaves as if the regime were one of free floating until the rate hits the edge of the band, whereupon the regime switches to a fixed rate. However, this cannot be right. This is also known as the pegged exchange rate system. There can be a very small percentage allowable deviation (band) on both sides of the rate. Target Zone. This is a fixed parity with a somewhat wider band. Crawling Peg. In this case, the exchange rate is fixed and then adjusted periodically to keep pace with the inflation rate. Crawling Band
