Floating
A floating exchange rate is a regime where the currency price of a nation is set by the forex
market based on supply and demand relative to other currencies. This is in contrast to a fixed
exchange rate, in which the government entirely or predominantly determines the rate
From an international business perspective, a floating rate system is more attractive for being
more prone to stability in the exchange rate that is determined between supply and demand,
which reduces risk for any intervention in a world of high mobility of capital, and trade. In
contrast, a fixed system influences trade and investment by risks of depreciation of currencies,
which generate instability that could influence negatively sales, revenues, and profitability
