discuss Appreciation and Depreciation of Currencies
Haricharan G.
What does it mean to say that a currency appreciates? Depreciates? Becomes stronger? Becomes weaker?
Discuss the following statement: "When a change in a country's nominal interest rate is caused by a rise in the expected real interest rate, the domestic currency appreciates. When the change is caused by a rise in expected inflation, the currency depreciates." (It may help to refer back to Chapter $15 .)$
