Exchange Rate Intervention: FX Reserve
âš This is a flightplan, not a commitment.
Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the
Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted
into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation
model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Impact figures are simulation model outputs from the Ducklings causal engine (BFS cascade, 3-hop depth, strength-weighted edges). They represent projected effects, not real-world outcomes.

Overview
The Bank of Canada uses foreign exchange reserves and swap lines with the Federal Reserve to stabilize the Canadian dollar. Not a peg, but a managed float that prevents disorderly depreciation.
Ducklings Simulation
This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 3).
The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with
strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop
limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.

How to Engage
Discuss this flightplan in the Pond forum under Monetary Policy.
Vote on adoption through Consensus. Adopted flightplans become projects
with real-world implementation tracking.
