If the foreign exchange value of a nation’s currency rises, what will happen to the aggregate supply and aggregate demand?

  1. AS will increase, AD will decrease
  2. AS will decrease, AD will increase
  3. Both AS and AD will increase
  4. Both AS and AD will decrease
Explanation

Answer - B - If the foreign exchange value of a nation’s currency rises, it will decrease the AS and increase the AD.

Key Takeaway: If the value of the dollar increases, people within the United States need fewer units of currency to pay for goods imported from other countries and will substitute imported goods for domestic goods. Simultaneously, U.S. goods will become more expensive in other countries in their currency. Aggregate demand will increase. Within supply, the imports of resources from other countries becomes cheaper and reduces costs for U.S. producers, increasing aggregate supply.
