Note: The exchange rate is generally less stable under the floating exchange rate system than under the fixed or the managed float exchange rate system. Nevertheless, the floating exchange rate system is adopted in most of the large economies in the world due to the Impossible Trinity, which is also known as the Open-Economy Trilemma. Nominal Exchange Rate is the price of a foreign currency in terms of the home currency. E. $/e = 1.3467=US exchange rate (in US terms, Dollars per Euro) Ee/$ = 0.7425=Euro exchange rate (in European terms, Euros per Dollar) Thus, E. dollars. On March 23, 2015, this exchange rate was USD 1.0945 per EUR, or, in market notation, 1.0945 USD/EUR. The Price of Milk and the Price of Foreign Currency An exchange rate is another price in the economy. Let’s compare an exchange rate to the price of milk. Suppose that the price of a gallon of milk is USD 2.50, or 2.50 USD/milk, using the above exchange rate market notation. • The total notional amount of interest rate swaps is $48 trillion, among which, $17 trillion goes to USD swaps. • At the same time, the total public debt (including Treasuries and local government debt) outstanding in the U.S. is $5 trillion. • The total notional amount of interest rate options is 9 trillion. Lecture Note on the Real Exchange Rate. Barry W. Ickes Fall 2004 0.1 Introduction. The real exchange rate is the critical variable (along with the rate of interest) in determining the capital account. As we shall see, this is because the real exchange rate is the relative price of goods across countries.
Interest rate and exchange rate are two economic variables which influence a large number of other economic variables such as national output and hence
As the figure titled "Fixed Exchange Rate Regime" illustrates, the true market exchange rate is at e M but the Polish government wishes to peg the currency at the lower exchange rate e P. For example, the market exchange rate may be 5 (5 zlotys to the U.S. dollar) but the Polish government pegs the exchange rate at 4 (4 zlotys to the U.S. dollar). 1 Lecture notes: 160B revised 9 /28/06.

THE MONETARY APPROACH the price level is determined as the ratio of nominal money supply to real money demand, where real money demand is determined by real income and the nominal interest rate. Algebraically, we simply solve (3.3) for the price level, which gives us (3.4) a simple Classical model of price determination. P= H L(i;Y) (3.4)

With Absolute PPP the exchange rate between the Chinese RMB and the US $ would simply be the ratio of Big Mac prices (Beijing/New York) Exchange Rate (RMB/$) = 11RMB/$3.41=3.22RMB the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Japanese yen is normally stated: JPY122:816=$1; read as "122.816 Japanese yen per dollar". An alternative method, called" Amer-ican" quote, states foreign exchange rates as the U.S. dollar price of one unit of foreign currency. The same exchange rate above expressed in American terms is: $0:00814=JPY1;
