Part Two:
1). Write a short note on “Interest Rate Parity System” for exchange rates.
Interest rate parity system is an economic concept, expressed as a basic algebraic identity that relates interest rates and exchange rates. Interest rate parity is one of the methods developed to explain exchange rate movements. Interest rate parity condition states that foreign exchange markets are in equilibrium when expected returns on deposits in a given period in one currency are equal to the expected returns on deposits in another currency when both the returns are measured in terms of a common currency. According to interest rate parity the difference between the interest rates paid on two currencies should be equal to the differences between the spot and forward rates.
