Central banks, wanting to devalue their currency, often intervene in the foreign exchange market by buying up foreign currency. Such interventions even if effective lead to a build up of foreign exchange reserves. This paper argues that the coupling of devaluation and reserve build up can be avoided if the central bank intervention takes the form of a ‘schedule’, that is, commitment to buying and selling conditional on the exchange rate.
