Explain relation between foreign exchange rate and demand for foreign exchange. Give two reasons.    

Solution
Relationship. There is inverse relation between price of foreign exchange (rate of exchange) and demand for foreign exchange. When exchange rate rises, demand for foreign exchange falls and when exchange rate of foreign currency falls, its demand rises. That is why demand curve for foreign exchange becomes downward sloping signifying the inverse relationship.
