Mechanism of Policy Rate Cut Leading to Currency Depreciation
When a central bank cuts its policy interest rate, it reduces the returns available on the country's financial assets. If foreign interest rates remain stable, these domestic assets become less attractive to international investors, leading to a fall in demand for them. Since purchasing these assets requires the domestic currency, the reduced demand for assets translates directly into a reduced demand for the currency itself, causing it to depreciate.
