How Does Inflation Affect Foreign Exchange Rates?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Inflation of any country will affect that country's exchange rate. Simply because the influx of extra currency changes its value.  If the British Pound and the U.S. Dollar were 1 for 1 (i.e. 1 Pound for 1 Dollar) and the United States had a 50% inflation then the exchange rate would be 1.5 Dollars for 1 Pound because the inflation causes the dollar to lose value.  Whichever country goes through inflation, it will take more of that currency to purchase another.
