What is the exchange rate in simple words?
It is the price of one country’s currency in terms of the currency of other countries.
How is the exchange rate determined?
It can be determined by a fixed or pegged rate which is determined by the government through its central bank (Nepal Rashtra Bank). The rate is set against another major currency such as the U.S. dollar, euro, etc. The government will buy and sell its own currency against the currency to which it is pegged to maintain its rate of exchange.
