How Rupeezy Dock Works
Rate of Inflation
Rate of Inflation: An economy with low
inflation rate will
have stronger currency and a high
inflation will result in currency
depreciation.
Interest Rates
When interest rates are high in an
economy, there is higher inflow of forex
within the
economy, thus strengthening
the currency.
Political Stability
If there is political instability and
uncertainty in an country, it is less
attractive for foreign capital inflow and
likely to have higher imports with
unstable industry, leading to currency
depreciation.
Recession
During a recession, the interest
usually low, resulting in
less inflow of forex and thus
currency depreciation.
Fiscal Balance
Fiscal deficit means higher imports
than exports that impacts the
currency. Similarly, high
government debt implies higher
interest payments and lower forex
inflow, thus weakening the currency.
