The exchange rate helps to determine the value of one currency in terms of some other foreign currency. This exchange rate is required to carry out international trade. This exchange rate is determined by the supply and demand for a particular currency in the market. This exchange rate highly affects the balance of payments account especially the trade balance. A higher exchange rate means imports become cheaper and a lower exchange rate increases the exports.

- 5. Changes in the foreign exchange market The following questions focus on the exchange rate between the Malaysian ringgit and the Mexican peso. Assume the exchange rate is flexible. The exchange rate is defined as the number of ringgit you must pay for one peso. Suppose an economic expansion in Mexico causes Mexican incomes to rise, while Malaysian incomes remain unchanged. Shift the appropriate curve or curves on the following graph to illustrate how this affects the market for Mexican pesos if all other things remain equal. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Equilibrium rate of exchange Suppose that, initially, the foreign exchange market between the United States and Great Britain is in equilibrium. Suppose that preferences for goods made in Great Britain change in the United States, causing U.S. consumers to purchase fewer goods and services made in Great Britain. Illustrate how this change affects the market for pounds by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
