CEE FX  'Fair' Value Rate (USD Base)

EM FX
  • Using a Behavioural Equilibrium Exchange Rate (BEER) FX model, where we run a panel OLS regression of nominal rates on terms of trade, inflation and 10y interest rates differentials (using monthly data since 1998) , we find that:
    • In the CEE region, the HUF is the most undervalued currency, the current spot rate is trading -12.2% below its 'fair' rate, followed by the CZK (-5%). The PLN appears to be 2% overvalued relative to the USD.
    • GBP/CHF seems to be the value trade as GBP is the most undervalued currency vs. USD (-13%) while the CHF is the most overvalued currency (+7.8%).
