Includes how foreign exchange is managed and implications for U.S. business
The foreign exchange rate is a managed float.  Typically the exchange rate fluctuates based on supply and demand factors.  However, during the regime of former President Jammeh, the government occasionally intervened in the foreign exchange market.  The most recent case involved the fixing of the exchange rate to the dollar, pound sterling and euro from May 2015 to January 2016. The current government of President Adama Barrow is not expected to interfere with the exchange rate, and poses no risk to U.S. businesses.
