How is the rate of exchange determined in a flexible exchange rate system?
उत्तर
Under Flexible exchange rate system, the rate of exchange is determined by the market forces of demand and supply.
The demand curve of foreign exchange is downward sloping while the supply curve is upward sloping.

2. Upward Sloping Supply Curve - Supply curve is upward sloping due to direct relationship between foreign exchange rate and quantity of foreign exchange supplied.
Determination of Foreign Exchange Rate:
Under, flexible exchange rate system, the foreign exchange rate is determined by the market forces of demand and supply.
In the figure, the X-axis represents the quantity of foreign exchange demanded and supplied and Y-axis represents price per unit of foreign currency.
The exchange rate is determined at the intersection of the demand and supply curve i.e. at point E. In the diagram, OP1 is the exchange rate and OQ1 is the quantity of foreign exchange demanded and supplied. Any rate above or below this rate is a temporary fluctuation and equilibrium rate is established at the point of intersection of the two curves.
