Exchange rates are important in the global economy because they influence international trade, investments, and tourism. Understanding how exchange rates function and how they affect different sectors of the economy is critical for businesses, tourists, and governments.

Exchange rates show how valuable a currency is in relation to other currencies. The strength of a country’s exchange rate, particularly when compared to the dollar, emphasizes its impact on international commerce since they determine the rate at which one currency may be exchanged for another in the foreign exchange market.

A weak exchange rate refers to a situation where a country’s currency has depreciated in value relative to other major currencies. It can be influenced by various factors, including market forces, economic indicators, investor sentiment, and government policies.

A weak exchange rate can pose significant challenges to a country’s economy, affecting various sectors and the overall financial stability.
