Market forces

 

(A) Flexible exchange rate → (III) Floating exchange rate.A flexible exchange rate is also  called a floating exchange rate because it changes according to demand and supply in the foreign exchange market.

(B) Devaluation → (IV) Government. Devaluation is done deliberately by the government or central bank under a fixed exchange rate system.

(C) Fixed exchange rate → (II) Pegged exchange rate. A fixed exchange rate is also known as a pegged exchange rate because the value of currency is fixed against another currency.

(D) Depreciation → (I) Market forces. Depreciation occurs due to market forces such as demand and supply in a flexible exchange rate system.
