Abstract
The target zone exchange rate literature, initiated by Krugman (1991), has relevance
for the question of what is the optimal level of reserves. In particular, Krugman and Rotemberg
(1990) show that there is a well defined boundary between a target zone that is subject to speculative
attack and one which is sustainable. This boundary is defined by whether reserves are
sufficient or not. This paper reviews briefly both the target zone and speculative attack
literature. The appropriate level of reserves for Ireland is then calculated and discussed.
