Discuss any two factors which directly affect the demand for foreign exchange of a nation.
Marking-scheme solution
Two factors which directly affect the demand of foreign exchange of a nation are:
Imports: When a country imports goods and services, it needs to pay for these imports in the foreign currency. Therefore, higher imports result in higher demand for foreign exchange.
Investments abroad: When domestic investors make investments abroad, the payment is to be made in the foreign currency. This increases the demand for foreign exchange.
