states. There are several reasons why a currency value will fall. Currencies are traded in a market place the same as any other commodity, and when the market favours one
currency and wants to buy it the demand rises so does the price. If a currency falls out of favour then demand will fall, therefore the price of that currency
will fall. In floating exchange rate there will be rises and falls in line with market demand. However the advantage of a fixed exchange rate between countries means that they
will not have the exposure. However, the exchange rate will then fluctuate with other countries outside of the fixed exchange rate. If there is a fixed rate there may be
the need for counties to support the currency and take actions to prevent falls, such as buying back currency with foreign reserves to increase demand and therefore price, or to
increase interest rates and therefore increase demand for investments in the country which increases the demand for currency. The converse is also be true. The majority of reasons that
a currency falls in value may be see as a result of supply and demand, regardless of which exchange rate model is used. Firstly there can be seen as the
overriding value. If a currency has a relatively low value, then exports are cheap and as such the country may export a great deal, this will increase the demand for
the currency. If the value is high and rises to fast, the price of the goods they export become uneconomic for the importing countries, or there are economic problems in
the importing countries then the demand for good will fall and as such the demand for currency will fall, meaning the value of the currency will fall. Inflation and
