Exchange Rates Mechanism. A system aimed at limiting short term movements between European Community currencies. Most member currencies were allowed to move by no more 2.25% either side of a fixed bilateral central rate against other member currencies. However, a few currencies were allowed to fluctuate by 6% either side of their central parities for an undetermined initial period. In august 1993, following turmoil on the foreign exchange markets, member currencies were allowed to move by 15% either side of their central rates. However the German mark and the Dutch guilder retained their 2.25% fluctuation limits.

System established in 1979 for controlling exchange rates within the European Monetary System (EMS). The member currencies of the ERM were fixed against each other within a narrow band of fluctuation based on a central European Currency Unit (ECU) rate, but floating against non-member countries. The ERM was revised from 1 January 1999, with the launch of the single European currency (Euro).

The ERM was one of the building blocks of the single currency, but it fell apart in 1992.
