Exchange Rate

The Exchange rate refers to the rate at which one country's currency will be exchanged for another country's currency. The exchange rate also stands as the value of one nations currency in relation to another country's currency. Every nation determines its exchange rate regime which will apply to its repsective currency.

For instance, a country's currency may be floating, fixed or a hybrid. Governments of respective country can impose controls on exchange rates as well as certain limitations on the currencies.

Though in some exchanges, rates are fixed by an agreement, most of them fluctuate daily. The daily revision of these exchange rates will be listed in the financial sections of newspapers. It can also be found on the financial web portals.

In case of a fixed exchange rate system, the exchange rates of a country’s currency will be established and the same will remain unchanged for longer period. But keeping a currency under fixed exchange rate system has its own share of cons as the country’s currency becomes overvalued, resulting in that nation being persistently in balance of payment deficit. It can also lead to devaluation of exchange rates (refixed at a lower rate), this situation will make its imports costlier and its exports cheaper.

Similarly, if the exchange rate is undervalued, the country may persistently face a situation of balance of payments in surplus. The exchange rate has to be revalued (refixed at a higher rate), this situation will make the nations imports cheaper and its exports more expensive.  

A nations currency exchange rate will be affected by the supply and demand of that particular country’s currency in the international foreign exchange market.

What is Remittance Rate?

The term remittance rate refers to the transfer of money from a foreign nation to the home country. For instance, considering India as the home country, the remittance rate means the rate of a particular foreign currency against India's Rupee value.

If the remittance rate of the U.S. dollar is 74, this translates that 1 U.S. dollar being remitted is equivalent to Rs 74.
