This paper analyzes the choice of the optimal currency basket using a general equilibrium macro model of a small open economy, with perfect capital mobility. The optimal weights are derived to minimize the variance of domestic output. The general properties of the optimal basket so obtained are identified and a number of special cases are analyzed in detail. The weights are also compared with those found in the existing literature which differs from the approach here in its more partial equilibrium nature, its neglect of capital flows, and its focus on the stabilization of more proximate policy objectives.
