The nominal exchange rate E is specified as the number of domestic currency units required to purchase one unit of a given foreign currency. A reduction in this variable is referred to as nominal currency appreciation. (A downward modification of the rate is referred to as revaluation in the fixed exchange rate regime.) A rise of this attribute is referred to as nominal depreciation of the currency.
The Real exchange rate R is described as the ratio of the price level abroad to the price level at home, with the international price level translated into domestic currency units using the current nominal exchange rate. R=(E.P*)/P, where P* denotes the international price level and P denotes the domestic price level. A reduction in R is referred to as appreciation of the actual exchange rate, while an increase is referred to as depreciation. The actual cost shows us how many times more or less goods and services can be bought internationally (after translation into a foreign currency) for a given price than in the domestic market. In reality, changes in the actual exchange rate are more significant than changes in the absolute amount. In reality, changes in the actual exchange rate are more significant than changes in the absolute amount. In relation to the nominal exchange rate, the actual exchange rate is still “floating,” so it will adjust due to price-level fluctuations even in the presence of a fixed nominal exchange rate E.
