Which among the following is NOT an economic factor for currency depreciation?

B. Lower real interest rates

C. Persistent Trade Deficits

D. Higher Real Interest Rates

Solution & Detailed Explanation

Answer: (D) Higher Real Interest Rates

Detailed Explanation

Lower Interest Rates: Lower real interest rates relative to other countries make domestic investments less attractive to foreign investors seeking higher returns. This leads to capital outflows, increasing the supply of the domestic currency in the market and lowering its value.

Persistent Trade (Current Account) Deficits: A chronic trade deficit (imports greater than exports) means more domestic currency is being sold to buy foreign goods and services than foreign currency is being earned from exports. This imbalance of supply and demand puts downward pressure on the currency.

Weak Economic Fundamentals: A stagnant or declining economy, high public debt/fiscal deficit, or an underperforming stock market erodes investor confidence. Investors may pull their money out of the country, leading to capital flight and currency depreciation.

Higher Interest Rates: An increase in a country’s interest rates relative to other countries attracts foreign capital seeking higher returns (a process called “hot money flows”). To invest, foreigners buy the local currency, increasing its value.

A real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation, representing the actual purchasing power gained or lost on an investment or loan.
