Suppose that over a year, the prices of goods produced in Country A, when measured in a common currency, have risen significantly compared to the prices of goods produced in Country B. For consumers in Country A, goods from Country B now seem much cheaper, while for consumers in Country B, goods from Country A seem much more expensive. What is the most likely consequence for Country A's international trade?
Analyzing Currency Movements and Trade Competitiveness
Currency Strength and Competitiveness
Consider two countries, Country A and Country B. Over the past year, the currency of Country A has weakened, meaning it now takes more units of Country A's currency to buy one unit of Country B's currency. During the same period, the general price level for goods in Country A increased by 10%, while the price level in Country B only increased by 2%. Given these changes, it is certain that Country A's goods have become more competitive on the international market.
