Quotation
• Direct quote is a foreign exchange rate quoted as the
domestic currency per unit of the foreign currency. In
other words, it involves quoting in fixed units of foreign
currency against variable amounts of the domestic
currency.
• Indirect quote is a currency quotation in the foreign
exchange markets that expresses the amount of foreign
currency required to buy or sell one unit of the domestic
currency.
A direct quote can be converted to indirect quote by the following formula:
Direct Quote =1
Indirect Quote
Example
• Exchange rate between U.S dollar and Indonesia Rupiah
is Rp12 820.5128 per U.S dollar
• Indirect quotation for Indonesia Rupiah is US$ 7.8 × 10-
5 per IDR (1/12820.518)
Nominal vs Real
• The nominal exchange rate simply states how much of
one currency can be traded for a unit of another
currency.
• The real exchange rate, on the other hand, describes
how many of a good or service in one country can be
traded for one of that good or service in another country.
