a) If a country has exhibited a lower inflation than its major trading partner country, how would you expect this to affect the currency value for that country with respect to its trading partner? Why may this expected relationship not always occur? b) Assume that the inflation rate in India is expected to increase substantially. How will this affect India’s nominal interest rates and the value of Indian rupee (INR)? If the International Fisher Effect (IFE) holds, how will the nominal return to the U.S. institutional investors investing in Indian financial markets be affected by the higher inflation in India? Explain. c) Explain why the high inflation in India may lead to severe pressure on the INR.

This question relates to the following news article New Zealand dollar drops to lowest value against US dollar since 2020 (27/09/2022) The New Zealand dollar has dropped to its lowest value against its US equivalent since March 2020. The bad news for Kiwis is that it means it'll take longer for consumer price inflation to fall. ...a weak Kiwi dollar means importing is more expensive. "While we do expect inflation rates to slowly fall from here, the longer the New Zealand dollar remains low. the slower it will take for those inflation rates to fall." ASB senior economist Mark Smith said. Six months ago the New Zealand dollar was US68.9c - now it's at US56.6c, a fall of 18 percent. Aotearoa's dollar is suffering because the US dollar is being pumped up by the US Federal Reserve lifting interest rates to tackle inflation. "interest rates globally are going up, and when rates are going up, generally people tend to look to where their money will be safest, and at the moment it's certainly…

In the last 4 years, the exchange rate Pound to Euro depreciated (decreased) to an average of 1.13 (from 1.30 before 2016). When citizens from the UK would go on holidays in a Euro zone country (e.g. Spain), would a lower exchange rate of 1.13(Sterling Pound to Euro) instead of an exchange rate of 1.30 (Pound to Euro) be of advantage or disadvantage for British tourists in Europe? Explain.
Suppose we consider two countries, a home country and a foreign country. In the home country, the expected inflation rate is equal to 3.6 per cent, while the expected inflation rate abroad is equal to 4.2 per cent. Furthermore, it is known that the nominal interest rate in the home country is equal to 3.4 per cent, while the nominal interest rate abroad is equal to 4 per cent.a) First explain what is meant by absolute purchasing power parity, relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity. Then give an estimate of the expected growth in the nominal exchange rate based on each of the three theories. Finally, show that if both relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity apply, real interest rates in the two countries will be approximately equal.
The current spot EUR/USD exchange rate was 1.10 when the inflation expectation for the current year was 6%, the expected real interest rate for the EUR was 0.01, the forward premium in EUR/USD for one year was 0.05, and the USD interest rate for one year was 5%. What would the new spot exchange rate be in accordance with Fisher theory if the inflation expectation shifts from 6% to 10% in Europe?
During 1995, the Mexican peso exchange rate rose from 5.33 peso/$ to 7.64 peso/$. At the same time, US inflation was approximately 3% in contrast to Mexican inflation of about 48.7%. By how much did the nominal value of the peso change during 1995? By how much did the real value of the peso change over this period?
Assume that the export price of a Toyota Corolla from Osaka, Japan is ¥4,200,000. The exchange rate is ¥109.60/$. The forecast rate of inflation in the United States is 2.5% per year and is 1.5% per year in Japan. Use this data to answer the following questions on exchange rate passthrough. What was the export price for the Corolla at the beginning of the year expressed in the U.S. Dollars? Assuming purchasing power parity holds, what should the exchange rate be at the end of the year? Assuming a 65% pass-through of the exchange rate, what will be the dollar price of a Corolla at the end of the year?
Assume UK inflation rate falls relative to US inflation rate. Other things being equal, how should this affect the (a) UK demand for Dollars, (b) supply of Dollars for sale, and (c) equilibrium value of Dollars? (Indicate with a single graph). Which currency is going to appreciate in this regard?

Relative inflation rates affect interest rates, exchange rates, the overall economic health of a country, and the operations and profitability of multinational companies. Consider the following statement: Countries with lower inflation rates will have lower interest rates. If companies borrow from countries with low interest rates, the potential gains from the interest savings will likely be (multiplied or offset) by the losses from currency appreciation.
