The aim of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the exchange rate in Brazil and its relation to the interest rate. The model used to analyze the relationship between the variables is an adaptation of the uncovered interest parity. The results for the period between January 2003 and March 2008, suggest that the exchange rate and the lagged change in the risk premium were the main determinants of exchange rate fluctuations. Thus, monetary policy would have less influence in the period considered by the study. The influence of the risk premium indicates the relevance of the international situation and the macroeconomic variables to the understanding of exchange rate changes.Downloads
