A
Currency Exchange Rate
is the rate at which one nation's
currency can be exchanged for
that of another. Currency
Exchange rates impact,
and are impacted by, international
trade, in a free market
system that helps to maintain
a balance of trade and balance
of capital. The exchange
rate refers to the expression
given to the national quotation
of a nation’s currency
in relation to that of the foreign
countries. It is an important
exercise since it helps in the
conversion of one country’s
currency to another.
This will eventually lead to international
trade especially for buying and
selling of goods and services
or even if one wishes to transfer
money from one country to another
it would be easier. Currency
Exchange Rate is an important
factor contributing to competitiveness
in the market since trading countries
will be able to compare prices
and therefore learn of strategies
of attracting more customers to
themselves.
"We invented money and we
use it, yet we cannot...understand
its laws or control its actions.
It has a life of its own."
Lionel Trilling, literary critic.
