问题如下:
Fap is a small country whose currency is the Fip. Three years ago, the exchange rate was considered to be reflecting purchasing power parity (PPP). Since then, the country’s inflation has exceeded inflation in the other countries by about 5% per annum. The Fip exchange rate, however, remained broadly unchanged.
What would you have expected the Fip exchange rate to show if PPP prevailed? Are Fips over or undervalued, according to PPP?
选项:
解释:
According to PPP, to offset the effect of the higher inflation in Fap, the Fip should have depreciated against the other currencies by approximately the difference between Fap inflation and that in the other countries. According to PPP, Fip is overvalued.
解析:根据购买力平价理论,为了抵消Fap中较高的通货膨胀的影响,Fip应该对其他货币贬值大约是Fap通货膨胀与其他国家之间的差额。根据购买力平价理论,Fip被高估了。
老师您好,题目中说Fap国通胀较其他国家要高5%,根据PPP理论,通胀预期较高的国家,货币面临贬值压力,那Fap应该相对于Fip国货币有贬值压力,Fip应该有升值压力,而现在汇率不变,那Fip应该被低估了才对吧?不知道我的理解哪里出现了问题,烦请老师帮忙指正一下,感谢!
