The demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market equals 12000 - 2000E and the supply of Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market equals 3000 + 3000E, where E is the nominal exchange rate expressed in yen per Australian dollar. If the Australian dollar is fixed at 3 yen per Australian dollar, then to maintain this fixed rate, what is the required change in the Reserve Bank of Australia's holdings of yen?
