Understanding Exchange Rates and Their Impact

1) An exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. It is determined in the foreign exchange market where currencies are bought and sold for the purpose of international trade, finance, investment, tourism and education. 2) There are two main exchange rate systems - fixed and floating. Under a floating exchange rate system, the market rate is determined by the demand and supply of currencies without government intervention. 3) Factors that affect the exchange rate include changes in the demand and supply of a currency. An increase in demand or decrease in supply causes appreciation, while an increase in supply or decrease in demand causes depreciation.
