Solution 1

The answer is "buy the euro and sell the krone".

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

  1. The market spot rate moving towards the floor rate of DKK 7.63 per one euro means that the krone is appreciating (or getting stronger) against the euro.

  2. If the krone appreciates beyond the lower limit of the fluctuation band, it would violate the peg that the Danmarks Nationalbank has set.

  3. To prevent this from happening, the Danmarks Nationalbank needs to intervene in the foreign exchange market to weaken the krone or strengthen the euro.

  4. It can do this by buying euros and selling kroner. This increases the supply of kroner and the demand for euros in the foreign exchange market, which should lead to a depreciation of the krone (or an appreciation of the euro), bringing the exchange rate back within the target band.

  5. Therefore, if the market spot rate moves from the central rate towards the floor rate of DKK 7.63 per one euro, the Danmarks Nationalbank should buy the euro and sell the krone.
