How is the value of currency determined?
If the value of any other currency decreases in comparison to the dollar, it is called falling, breaking, weakening of the currency. Currency Depreciation in English. Every country has foreign currency reserves with which it conducts international transactions. The effect of increase and decrease in foreign reserves is visible on the price of currency.
If the dollars in India's foreign reserves are equal to the US rupee reserves, then the value of the rupee will remain stable. If our dollar decreases, the rupee will weaken; if it increases, the rupee will strengthen. This is called floating rate system.
