Argument For;
Market Based - It is market based therefore it reflects the true value of the currency.
Argument Against;
Uncertainty - As it trades according to the whims of supply and demand, telling which direction it will go in terms of value is a difficult undertaking therefore financial decisions based on such are riskier.
<u>Fixed exchange rate</u>
Here the value of the currency is fixed either to the value of another currency or to the price of gold.
Argument For;
No Uncertainty - As the currency is tied to another currency which is usually more stable or gold, the rate of the currency is more predictable.
Argument Against;
Unknown Elements

Argument Against;
Difficult - Maintaining the currency within the band preferred in a difficult undertaking that requires constant intervention in the Forex market.

Argument For;
Reduces uncertainty - The movement of the currency is more predictable due to it being pegged to a basket of currencies.

<u>Target zone</u>

Argument For;
Fluctuation with limits - By combining fixed regimes with floating regimes, the currency can maintain a semblance of true value whilst still be less uncertain.
Argument Against;
Limited options.
