A nominal appreciation signifies the strengthening of a country's currency against a foreign currency. This is characterized by a decrease in the nominal exchange rate, which means fewer units of the home currency are required to purchase one unit of the foreign currency. An appreciation increases the relative value of the home currency and its purchasing power for foreign-denominated items.
