Exchange Rates

Akopọ

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.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. Definition of exchange rates
  2. Factors affecting supply and demand of currencies: interest rates, currency speculators, imports and exports of goods and services, supply and demand diagrams to show determination of exchange rates
  3. Definition of appreciation: definition of revaluation, impact of appreciation of exchange rate on import and export prices, demand for imports and exports, current account on balance of payments
  4. Definition of depreciation: definition of devaluation, impact of depreciation of exchange rate on import and export prices, demand for imports and exports, current account on balance of payments

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

An exchange rate is the value of one currency expressed in terms of another currency. If the exchange rate between the pound and the US dollar is 1 GBP = 1.30 USD, then one pound can be exchanged for 1.30 US dollars. Exchange rates are quoted and traded constantly in the foreign exchange market, the global market where currencies are bought and sold, and they rarely stay still for long.
