rates the hot money flow rate encourages . Now comes the economic growth which tends to

appreciate the currency. The inflation, the higher the inflation, it makes the exports less

competitive and less demand for the currency .This can lead to depreciation. Confidence in

the economy or the currency effects the exchange rate. The currency will be appreciated

when there will be more increase in the exports. If the appreciation is due to speculation, then

it will have harsh impact on the growth.
