Find The Things That Determine The Value Of A Currency

By Jamal D White


US dollar is the official currency of the United States of America. It is represented by the symbol $ and often called by different names in different parts of the world. Buck, paper, greenback, dough are some to name a few. Often the US dollars are also named after the presidents and it is probably the only currency named so.

Printing of the currency has direct effect on the value of the currency. For an instance, when a country prints more currency than it actually needs the value of the currency automatically decreases. It is the same for anything that you come across, when the production of something is done in excess of its needs, then the value of its decreases.

Whether, you are talking about the currency or commodities like coal, oil, gold and so on, it is the same for all. Definitely currency being regulated in large amount is going to lower the value of a currency. Likewise, when the amount of currency being circulated decreases, it does help in increasing the value of the currency.

A country's economic condition also has direct impact on the value of its currency. If economic status of the country is not good, the value of its currency will automatically decrease. There are major factors that affect the economic status of a country, which includes intensity of unemployment, width of consumer spending and the increase in business expansion, which occurs in a particular country.

US dollars being considered as the standard currency for trading in the world, slight changes in the value of US currency have a major effect on the economy of the overall world, which can be seen in the trading market of other countries. As a principle of inflationary, the reducing value of US dollar indicates the inflation, which leads to the increase in the prices of goods and services.

In order to have proper knowledge about the value of the US dollars, a US dollar index was also prepared in the early 70s to keep a check on it. Although dollar is dominating the trade market, however, it is only the US that treats US dollars as its official currency. The table has a fixed exchange rate with respect to the US dollar; moreover currencies of other countries are value at the fixed rate against the US dollar.

In order to ensure the flexibility of the currency, Federal Reserve banks were made, this also made sure that the currency was volatile enough and could be changed within short interval without any difficulty. As the banks came into existence, they were able to stand up to their expectation and work according to the objectives set for it. This was possible as it made sure that the value of the US currency and the price stability of product were maintained.

Investments and trade are major factors, which induces the increase in the value of the currency. Therefore, when a company is working at a secret level other countries are not able to gain much information about it and thus they avoid trading with them. This does have direct impact on reducing the value of the currency. Being precise, when a country is not open about its marketing processes, it does lower the value of its currency.
