Managed floating exchange rate system is the combination of two systems of exchange rate, namely, fixed exchange rate and floating exchange rate. On one hand, the foreign exchange market is allowed to operate freely and on the other hand, there is an official declaration of rules or guidelines for the intervention by the monetary authority.
