Return to ProbleM₃ and assume the exchange rate is fixed against the dollar at the equilibrium exchange rate that occurs in year 1. Also suppose that Japan and the United States are the only two countries in the world. In year 2, what quantity of yen would the Japanese government have to buy or sell to balance its capital and financial account with its current account? In what specific account would this purchase or sale show up in Japan's balance of payments statement: Foreign purchases of assets in Japan or Japanese purchase of assets abroad? Would this transaction increase Japan's stock of official reserves or decrease its stock?
