Abstract: This paper models daily returns of the exchange rate between the Mozambican Metical (MZN) and the South African Rand (ZAR) over the past 18 years. The results indicate that returns and volatility responses to shocks are asymmetric. They also indicate that the effects of shocks are relatively short lived for the returns and that they are quite persistent for volatility. There is also a tentative discussion and some results about exchange rate returns in the non-bank sector.
