Show the IMF Classification of Exchange Rate Arrangements and Monetary Policy Frameworks

Classification of Exchange rate System: 1) Dollarization:- Using foreign currency as its national currency.
2) Pegged rates:- When one country directly fixes its exchange rate to a foreign currency so that the country will have somewhat more stability than normal float.
3) Managing Floating rates:- When a currency's exchange rate is allowed to freely fluctuate subject to supply and demand.
