Demand and Supply of Foreign Exchange


Demand and Supply of Foreign Exchange influences the determination of exchange rates and vice versa. The demand for foreign exchange is inversely proportional to the rise of exchange rate. As the exchange rate goes up the demand for foreign exchange declines. The quantity of foreign exchange demanded falls. The supply of foreign exchange shifts depending on demand and not on the exchange rate. If the supply aspect of transaction is plotted on a graph it will be vertical since the supply of foreign currency deposits available at any time is fixed.

Theory of Money Demand


In economics, the Theory of Money Demand stresses on the positive relationship existing between the general prices or the nominal expense rate and the total amount of money.

Interest Theory


The main focus of the Interest Theory is on the charged amount paid against borrowed money. Though money is the most familiar form of asset at the time of lending, yet during arrangements of fiscal lease, Interest Theory considers other asset forms like consumer goods through hire purchase, shares, factories, aircrafts and other primary assets as well. In each of these cases, the rate of interest is charged on the total asset values, just like it is calculated on money.
