Why do governments ®nd it so dif®cult to move from pegged exchange rates to greater exchange rate ¯exibility? I ®rst establish that there is a problem to be solved: that there are powerful incentives for greater ¯exibility deriving from changes in the international economic and ®nancial environment but that policymakers ®nd it dif®cult to engineer a smooth transition. I offer practical suggestions and a framework under which the probability of a smooth transition can be maximised. Drawing examples from recent economic history, I then attempt to understand the experience of selected countries which have undertaken this transition.
