Exchange Rate Error in 1930 Heard by Commission
R Samuel Ferguson argues before the Banking Commission that in 1930 the exchange rate could have shifted 19e points to balance Australia’s overseas trade. He contends a proper rate would have softened the global downturn. depreciation would have lessened impacts on wages and prices, while automatic relief from currency misalignment could have preserved Australia’s economic stance.
