The Country B has exposed to high inflation rate for many years. This has resulted in a decline in the value of Country B’s currency against the dollar of Country U.

As a result, the Country B’s economy has progressed tremendously due to the lower inflation rate policies. This in turn has resulted in a steady appreciation of Country B’s currency against the dollar of Country U.
