Exchange Rate 
A rate of exchange is the price 
of one currency in terms of another; rates are quoted 
in two ways: 
1. A variable number of units of foreign currency to a fixed number of units of home 
currency: 
e.g. euro 1.4640 = ยฃ1; or Hong Kong dollars 14.14.4531= ยฃ1. 
This type of rate quotation is termed an 
โ€œindirect rateโ€ 
2. A number of units of home currency to one unit of overseas currency: 
e.g. quotations in euros are quoted to one unit of overseas currency. 
This type of quotation is termed a 
โ€œdirect rateโ€. 
A Spot rate 
is the rate of exchange for a foreign currency transaction which is to be 
settled within two working days of agreeing the rate. 
A Forward rate 
is a rate of exchange which is fixed โ€˜nowโ€™ for a deal which will take 
place at a fixed date or between two days in the future.
Exchange Rate 
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.
Exchange Rate 
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. 
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
Definition 
๏ต 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. 
๏ต 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. 
๏ต Also called money stock
How it can effect 
๏ตA country's exchange rate is typically 
affected by the supply and demand for that 
country's currency in international 
exchange markets. 
๏ต 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.
Exchange rate policy 
๏ต 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.
The instrument of exchange rate policy 
๏ตDiscount 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 
๏ต 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.
The instrument of exchange rate policy 
๏ต 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
The instrument of exchange rate policy 
๏ต Purpose of government intervention 
- Maintaining stable economic environment 
- Affect to BOP and maximize profits international integration 
- Strategic direction for economic with benefit

Editor's Notes

  • #8ย It is the market rate on the day the rate is agreed; it should be noted that the spot rate of exchange can fluctuate quite dramatically from day to day and therefore for continuing trade it is not a basis upon which to work. A Fixed Forward contract is where the future date at which the transaction will take place is fixed. An Option Forward contract is where the time at which the transaction will take place is any time within a specified period.
  • #9ย In Figure 1 below, the equilibrium is above the fixed rate. There is a shortage of the national currency at the fixed rate. This would normally force the equilibrium exchange rate upwards, but the rate is fixed and so cannot be allowed to move. To keep the exchange rate at the fixed rate the government will need to intervene. They will need to sell their own currency from their foreign exchange reserves and buy overseas currencies instead. This has the effect of shifting the supply curve to S2 and as a result, their foreign currency holdings will rise. In Figure 2, the opposite is true - the equilibrium rate is below the fixed rate. This means that there is a surplus of the national currency. The government will need to buy this surplus if they are to prevent the currency from falling - in other words keep it at the fixed rate. When they buy the currency they will be selling from their foreign currency reserves and so these will fall, but the demand for domestic currency will rise.
  • #10ย If the supply of a currency exceeds the demand for it, its value will fall in the foreign exchange market.ย  On the other hand, if the demand for a currency exceeds its supply, then its value will rise.ย  An increase in the supply of one currency is simultaneously an increase in demand for the other. When people in Europe supply euros to demand dollars in order to purchase U.S. products, the exchange value of the euro depreciates and the dollar appreciates, all other things held constant.
  • #12ย When all these transactions are consolidated into a table of international balance of payments, this would become the countryโ€™s foreign exchange balance of payments
