FIXED EXCHANGE RATE

A fixed exchange rate system is one where the value of the exchange rate is fixed to another

currency. This means that the government have to intervene in the foreign

exchange market to maintain the fixed rate

Revaluation - describes an upward

movement in an exchange rate, but in a fixed exchange rate system. This will be a very infrequent event (if ever) and means the government has deliberately changed the fixed value of the

exchange rate upwards.

Devaluation - this means that the government has

changed the fixed rate of a fixed exchange

rate downwards.

FLOATING EXCHANGE RATE

Where the exchange rate is floating (as are all major currencies in the world), it will be

determined by market forces - that is supply

and demand. As in any other market, the rate will change constantly to reflect how much of the currency is being

traded.

Exchange Rate

Appreciation - this describes an upward movement in a freely floating exchange rate. This may occur day by day

or perhaps even minute by minute.Depreciation - this describes a downward movement in

a floating exchange rate.

DEFINITION

HOW IT WOULD AFFECT ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE

the money supply is commonly defined to

be a group of safe assets that households and businesses can use to make payments or to hold as short-term investments.

It is known as a floating exchange rate since it floats according to supply and demand. Fluctuation in exchange rates are caused by an excess of supply over demand, vice versa.

Also called money stock

Definition

A country's exchange rate is typically

affected by the supply and demand for that country's currency in international exchange markets.

If demand exceeds supply, then the value of the currency will go up. If however, the supply of the currency exceeds demand, then its value will go down.

How it can effect

ER policy is a system of instruments used to influence the supply and demand of foreign currency in the market which helps to adjust the exchange rate in order to achieve the necessary goals.

Exchange rate policy

Discount rate method: This method is often used to adjust the exchange rate on the market. With this method, when the exchange rate reaches an alarming rate, the central bank must intervene raise interest rates discount. Due to the discount rate rise, therefore discount interest rates in the market have also increased. As a result, short-term loans on the world market will be put on to higher interest.

The instrument of exchange rate policy

The operations of the foreign exchange market:

Through the buying and selling of foreign currency exchange rate adjustment is one of the most important measures of the state to maintain stable purchasing power of national currencies. This measure is a direct impact on the exchange rate.


Reserves to stabilize the exchange:

Funds to establish reserves to stabilize the exchange usually consists of treasury bonds issued in the national money. As in many foreign currencies, then use the funds to buy in order to limit the level of depreciation of the exchange Conversely, in the case of foreign loans to run the exchange stabilization fund launched sold foreign currency to continue purchase of bonds issued to prevent exchange rose
