| | Exchange rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Exchange rates for such currencies are likely to change almost constantly as quoted on financial markets, mainly by banks, around the world. | | | Conversely if the price currency is strengthening, the exchange rate number decreases and the unit currency is depreciating. | | | If the value of the currency is "pegged" its value is maintained by the government in question at a fixed rate relative to the other currency. |

| | Other variants on floating exchange rates include frequent devaluations or revaluations and a crawling peg, where the currency is allowed to depreciate periodically by a well-accepted amount or tied to an index (usually an inflation index). | | | Under a floating exchange rate regime on the other hand, the interest rate increase would have resulted in an appreciation of the currency thus causing the IS curve to shift back and leaving the economy without long term effects. | | | Under a fixed exchange rate regime on the other hand, the interest rate decrease would have triggered a capital outflow, whereby the decrease in the domestic money stock would have caused the LM curve to shift back and left the economy without long term effects. |

| | The effect of this policy change on the exchange rate value of the country's currency depends on the effect on the official settlements balance. | | | Under fixed exchange rates, the central bank instead must resist the downward pressure on the exchange rate value of the country's currency by intervening in the foreign exchange market the central bank must buy domestic currency and sell foreign currency. | | | The exchange rate change results in a change in international price competitiveness, assuming that it is larger or faster than any change in the country's price level-overshooting. |

| | Under a fixed exchange rate system the value of a country’s currency is fixed by the government or one of its agencies, for example the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to another currency for a specific time period. | | | A managed exchange rate occurs when there is official intervention by a government or an agency, such as the RBA to determination the value of a country’s exchange rate. | | | b) A fixed exchange rate is where the government determines the exchange rate for a period of time based on the value of another countries currency such as the US dollar. |

| | FAQ Re: Exchange Rate |
| | The floating rate system is consistent with the current regime's national strategy of achieving external competitiveness through efficiency, which is also a central theme of the recent bold liberalization efforts. | | | For example, for the year 1994, the BSP purchased foreign exchange totalling $2.9 billion in a bid to absorb the heavy inflows of foreign capital into the country and mitigate the appreciating trend of the peso. | | | Specifically, the BSP became a net buyer of foreign exchange when the peso was under severe pressure to appreciate in 1994 and a net seller when the peso was under pressure to depreciate during certain months in 1995. |

| | Tutor2u - fixed and floating exchange rates |
| | In a fixed exchange rate system, the government (or the central bank acting on the government's behalf) intervenes in the currency market so that the exchange rate stays close to an exchange rate target. | | | Fixed rates provide greater certainty for exporters and importers and under normally circumstances there is less speculative activity - although this depends on whether the dealers in the foreign exchange markets regard a given fixed exchange rate as appropriate and credible. | | | It is rare for pure free floating exchange rates to exist - most governments at one time or another seek to "manage" the value of their currency through changes in interest rates and other controls |

| | Feature - Economic Implications of Floating Exchange Rates |
| | The distinguishing characteristic of a floating exchange rate system is that the price of a currency adjusts automatically to whatever level is required to equate the supply of and demand for that currency, thereby clearing the market. | | | In other words, transactions on the foreign exchange market echo the international trade and financial transactions that are summarised in the balance of payments. | | | In a floating rate system, the exchange rate is determined directly by market forces, and is liable to fluctuate continually, as dictated by changing market conditions. |

| | Floating And Fixed Exchange Rates |
| | In a floating regime, the central bank may also intervene when it is necessary to ensure stability and to avoid inflation; however, it is less often that the central bank of a floating regime will interfere. | | | Just like the price of any asset, the exchange rate is the price at which you can buy that currency. | | | And while a floating regime is not without its flaws, it has proven to be a more efficient means of determining the long term value of a currency and creating equilibrium in the international market. |

| | A rate of exchange between one currency and another that is fixed by the government and maintained by that government for buying and selling its currency to support or depress its currency is called Fixed Exchange Rate. | | | With a floating system, the exchange rate between the local currency and a foreign currency is determined when the demand for and available supply of foreign currency is the same. | | | If the exchange rate for taka/pound is Tk 97 to a pound, the one ton of raw jute would cost £55.67 at the factory for the Bangladesh farmer, to realize its cost from the UK buyer. |
