This section explains that exchange rates are determined in a competitive, global market by the forces of demand and supply. Key factors influencing these dynamics include world trade (exports and imports), interest rate differentials, and expectations about the future exchange rate. Arbitrage mechanisms help establish interest rate parity and purchasing power parity. Additionally, central banks may intervene using fixed, flexible, or crawling peg systems to stabilize or guide their currency’s value. Finally, the balance of payments accounts and the global loanable funds market reveal how international trade and investment flows link to exchange rate policy and overall economic stability.
