I'm concerned about the potential risks involved with a pegged currency system. Could someone explain the dangers or downsides of having a currency pegged to another, more stable currency or commodity?

A pegged exchange rate system can have unintended consequences on an economy.

When a currency's value is artificially fixed to another currency or to a basket of currencies, it may not always align with its true market value.

This misalignment can create trade imbalances as the fixed rate may not accurately reflect the demand and supply dynamics of the currency in the global market.

If the pegged rate is lower than the market rate, it can make the domestic goods and services cheaper, leading to an increase in exports and a decrease in imports.

Conversely, if the pegged rate is higher, it can make domestic goods and services more expensive, reducing exports and increasing imports.
