Economics Concept Introduction

Appreciation of currency: The appreciation of currency refers to increase in the international value of the currency with respect to other currency in the exchange market, which causes increase in the value of a currency against the other currency.

Currency depreciation: The currency depreciation is the fall in the value of the domestic currency relative to the foreign currency, which in turn reduces the value of currency against the other currency.
