APPLIED ECONOMICS
The Philippine Peso and The Foreign Currency
Foreign exchange identifies the process of converting
domestic currency into international banknotes at particular
exchange rates. These transactions present distinct
ramifications for the global economy. Foreign exchange rates
affect international trade, capital flows and political sentiment.
Further, you should work to understand the economic risks
associated with foreign exchange and globalization, prior to
coordinating financial decisions.
Identification
Foreign exchange rates describe valuations for domestic currency,
which describe the economic and political standing of your home
nation. Low exchange rates may signal recession and political instability.
Alternatively, strong exchange rates often serve as an indicator of
favorable commercial conditions for a particular country. Exchange rates
directly impact international trade. Low exchange rates support tourism
and the export economy. At that point, domestic goods become less
expensive for foreign buyers. Domestic consumers, however, prefer
higher exchange rates. Consumers then have more purchasing power to
spend on imported goods.
Features
Foreign exchange rates influence capital flows, or investment funds that
move into and out of a country. Nations with rapidly deteriorating currency
values are less attractive to foreign investors. At that point, foreigners
liquidate their stocks, bonds, and real estate, because these assets are
losing purchasing power relative to competing investments in other
currencies and countries. International savers prefer to purchase
investments in countries that feature stable and appreciating exchange
rates. Foreigners are more comfortable making overseas financial
commitments when they feel that value will be preserved--as international
profits are eventually converted back into their home currency.
