“There exists a positive relation between foreign exchange rate and supply of foreign exchange.” Do you agree with the given statement ? Justify your answer with valid arguments.
Marking-scheme solution
Yes.
When foreign exchange rate rises, the goods in domestic market become relatively cheaper for the buyers of the rest of the world. Thereby increasing the international competitiveness of Indian exports.
This raises demand for exports, which in turn may lead to increase in supply of foreign exchange and vice-versa.
