Exchange Rates
Muhtasari
A currency has a price, just like a loaf of bread or a haircut, except the price of a currency is measured in another currency. That price moves every day in the foreign exchange market, driven by the same forces of supply and demand you have met elsewhere in economics, and it changes what every importer, exporter and traveller pays.
In this lesson you will learn how exchange rates are determined, what makes a currency appreciate or depreciate, and how those movements ripple through to the prices of exports and imports and, ultimately, to a country's current account on the balance of payments.
