Foreign exchange rate

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE

Foreign exchange rate refers to the rate at which one unit of currency of country can be exchanged for number of units of currency another country. It is the price paid in domestic currency in order to get one unit of foreign currency.
Thus,it expresses the ratio of exchange between currencies of two countries . It is also refer to as external value of the currency.

System of exchange rate
There are two systems of exchange rate:
a)Fixed exchange rate system
b) Flexible exchange rate system

Fixed exchange rate system refers to rate of exchange as fixed by the government. It has two important variants , historically.
1)Gold standard system of exchange rate
b)Bretton woods system of exchange rate

Gold standard system 
According to this system of exchange rate,gold was taken as common unit of parity between currencies of different countries in circulation. Each country was to define value it's currency in terms of gold. Thus,value of one currency in terms of other currency was fixed considering gold value of each currency. This system is also known as Mint Par value of exchange rate.

Bretton woods system
According to this system of exchange rate,even when it was a fixed system ,it still allowed some adjustments. It was also called as adjustable peg system of exchange rate. According to this, different currencies were pegged to one currency that is US dollar. It was assigned gold value at fixed price. Value of one currency in terms of US dollar ultimately applies value of that currency in terms of gold.


Flexible exchange rate
Flexible exchange rate is that rate which is determined by the demand for and supply of different currencies in the foreign exchange market. In other words, it is determined by market forces ,like price of any other commodity. The market where foreign currencies are demanded and supplied is called foreign exchange market or international Money market.
The exchange rate at which demand for foreign currency is equal to its supply is called Par rate of exchange and it constitutes the Normal or equilibrium rate.
It is flexible rate because it tends to change in accordance with changes in supply and demand conditions in international money Market.
