Seven interrelated themes are explored in the survey: first, the determination of the foreign exchange rate; second, the issue of credibility; third, the possibilities of exchange controls and international cooperation; fourth, the policy assignments for macroeconomic policies; fifth, the lessons of the EMS crisis; sixth, the macroeconomics of competitive disinflation in France; and seventh and last, the new faces of the external constraint.
