The United States and the countries of Europe are trading partners. If the average income of dollar holders increases, what should be the result in the market for the euro, the currency of many European countries? There will be an increase in the demand for euros as U.S. citizens want euros to purchase European goods. There will be an appreciation of the dollar as U.S. citizens try to spend more dollars. There will now be a trade deficit, with Europeans buying more U.S. goods than the United States buying European goods. There will be an increase in the supply of euros as Europeans try to sell more goods to the United States. There will be a reduced supply of euros as Europeans retain their currency to buy European goods.

In Belarus, the government doesn’t allow trading of its ruble outside a narrow price range, which greatly overvalues the ruble – there is a price floor on the ruble compared to euros or dollars. Because of the floor, currency trading has dried up – who would want to sell foreign currencies for grossly overpriced Belarusian rubles? A friend of one of my students has a web site designed to overcome rigidities in this market, a sort of Craigslist for currency. People specify amounts they are willing to buy or sell, agree to trade at some price and arrange a meeting place. When they meet, the trade nominally occurs at the official price floor, making the transaction nominally legal; but the person selling rubles makes extra payments to the buyer to lower the price sufficiently so that the trade actually takes place at the equilibrium price. This is one more way in which technology helps markets circumvent imperfections and rigidities. Q: If the Belarusian government increases…

Which of the below is NOT a factor determining the demand for a currency such as the U.S. dollar? Group of answer choices All else equal, the greater demand for a country's exports will cause its currency to appreciate. All else equal, foreign capital is attracted by emerging economies with unstable political history and greater volatility in their financial and stocks markets. All else equal, higher real interest rates offered in the U.S. will make it lucrative for foreign investors to purchase U.S. bonds that pay a higher interest rate. Foreigners will need to purchase U.S. dollars to purchase U.S. treasuries. A country with a booming economy will often have a currency that is appreciating. Strong growth presents economic investment opportunities and attracts financial capital from other countries. If the country in question is the U.S. then the infow of foreign financial capital must be converted to U.S. dollars to be invested in the U.S.

“There has been a turnaround from the sizeable net outflows over the past two years when South African companies stepped up their efforts to internationalise their businesses. The shift in direct investment trends made a small contribution to improving the financial account of South Africa’s balance of payments, which showed a surplus of 3.5% for the third quarter, up from 1.3% the previous quarter. The Reserve Bank’s quarterly bulletin shows that capital inflows were more than adequate to finance the deficit on the current account deficit of the balance of payments, which widened to 4.1% from a revised 2.9% in the third quarter. Economists expect that the current account deficit, which tends to be a driver of the rand exchange rate, will narrow again in the fourth quarter as exports pick up again” (Joffe, 2016). In your opinion, can the government keep export demand stimulated such that the balance of payments remains dazzling
