Economic logic may tell us that a country with a higher interest rate, thus a higher rate of return, should be able to attract foreign capital and that a country with a lower interest rate, thus a lower rate of return, should experience an outflow of capital. If a country is experiencing a large net capital inflow its currency is likely to appreciate, while a country experiencing a large net capital outflow would likely see its currency depreciate (assuming a floating exchange rate). However, according to interest rate parity conditions a country with a higher interest rate would see its currency depreciate, while the currency of the lower interest rate country would appreciate.
