1.1 The origin of the report:
This term paper is prepared for MD. Al-Mamun, Senior Lecturer, Department of Business
Administration of East West University. This term paper is prepared as a partial requirement of
FIN-465 (International Finance) course for the semester of spring 2012.
1.2. Objective of the study
Here we have only looked at the Currency & Variables. So the specific objectives are-
To give detailed information about Inflation rate of Bangladesh, USA and other countries
Relation between these variables.
To focus on the correlation regression analysis between these variables. To know briefly about these variables
Their performance of our country in pre 1990 and post1990 period.
1.3. Methodology
The report is based on information collected from secondary source of data, by using web sites
and annual report of these four giants published. Along with that we consulted with our Hon
able course instructor. The data collected from the some other sources too. These ares-
Bureau of Statistics.
Financial Journals.
1.4. Limitations of the study
The major limitations encountered are:
Lack of experience has acted as constraints in the way of meticulous exploration on
the topic.
Time wasnt enough to complete such a complicated topic.
Relevant papers and documents were not available sufficiently. In many cases up to
date information is not available.

INFLATION:
Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period
of time. When the price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services;
consequently inflation occurs. Inflation is also erosion in the purchasing power of money a loss
of real value in the internal medium of exchange and unit of account in the economy. A chief
measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general
price index (normally the Consumer Price Index) over time.
EXCHANGE RATE:
Exchange rates between two currencies specify how much one currency is worth in terms of the
other. It is the value of a foreign nations currency in terms of the home nations currency.
For example an exchange rate of 68 BDT (TK) to the United States dollar (USD, $) means that
BDT68 is worth the same as USD 1.
EXPORT
Export is derived from the conceptual meaning as to ship the goods and services out of the port
of a country. The seller of such goods and services is referred to as an "exporter" who is based in
the country of export whereas the overseas based buyer is referred to as an "importer". In
International Trade, "exports" refers to selling goods and services produced in the home country
to other markets.Any good or commodity, transported from one country to another country in a
legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade. Export goods or services are provided to foreign
consumers by domestic producers.
IMPORT
Import is derived from the conceptual meaning as to bring in the goods and services into the port
of a country. The buyer of such goods and services is referred to an "importer" who is based in
the country of import whereas the overseas based seller is referred to as an "exporter".[1]Thus an

import is any good (e.g. a commodity) or service brought in from one country to another country
in a legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade. It is a good that is brought in from another
country for sale.[2] Import goods or services are provided to domestic consumers by foreign
producers. An import in the receiving country is an export to the sending country.
BALANCE OF TRADE
The balance of trade (or net exports, sometimes symbolized as NX) is the difference between the
monetary value ofexports and imports of output in an economy over a certain period. It is the
relationship between a nation's imports and exports.
BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
Balance of payments (Bop) accounts are an accounting record of all monetary transactions
between a country and the rest of the world. These transactions include payments for the
country's exports and imports of goods, services, financial capital, and financial transfers. The
Bop accounts summarize international transactions for a specific period, usually a year, and are
prepared in a single currency, typically the domestic currency for the country concerned. Sources
of funds for a nation, such as exports or the receipts of loans and investments, are recorded aspositive or surplus items. Uses of funds, such as for imports or to invest in foreign countries, are
recorded as negative or deficit items.
FACTORS AFFECTING EXCHANGE RATES
Currency changes affect you, whether you are actively trading in the foreign exchange market,
planning your next vacation, shopping online for goods from another countryor just buying
food and staples imported from abroad.
Like any commodity, the value of a currency rises and falls in response to the forces of supply
and demand. Everyone needs to spend, and consumer spending directly affects the money supply
(and vice versa). The supply and demand of a countrys money is reflected in its foreign
exchange rate.

When a countrys economy falters, consumer spending declines and trading sentiment for its
currency turns sour, leading to a decline in that countrys currency against other currencies with
stronger economies. On the other hand, a booming economy will lift the value of its currency, if
there is no government intervention to restrain it.
Consumer spending is influenced by a number of factors: the price of goods and services
(inflation), employment, interest rates, government initiatives, and so on. Here are some
economic factors you can follow to identify economic trends and their effect on currencies.
1. Interest rates
"Benchmark" interest rates from central banks influence the retail rates financial institutions
charge customers to borrow money. For instance, if the economy is under-performing, central
banks may lower interest rates to make it cheaper to borrow; this often boosts consumer
spending, which may help expand the economy. To slow the rate of inflation in an overheated
economy, central banks raise the benchmark so borrowing is more expensive. Interest rates are of
particular concern to investors seeking a balance between yield returns and safety of funds.
When interest rates go up, so do yields for assets denominated in that currency; this leads to
increased demand by investors and causes an increase in the value of the currency in question. Ifinterest rates go down, this may lead to a flight from that currency to another.
2. Employment outlook
Employment levels have an immediate impact on economic growth. As unemployment
increases, consumer spending falls because jobless workers have less money to spend on non-
essentials. Those still employed worry for the future and also tend to reduce spending and save
more of their income.
An increase in unemployment signals a slowdown in the economy and possible devaluation of a
country's currency because of declining confidence and lower demand. If demand continues to
decline, the currency supply builds and further exchange rate depreciation is likely. One of the

most anticipated employment reports is the U.S. Non-Farm Payroll (NFP), a reliable indicator of
U.S. employment issued the first Friday of every month.
3. Economic growth expectations
To meet the needs of a growing population, an economy must expand. However, if growth
occurs too rapidly, price increases will outpace wage advances so that even if workers earn more
on average, their actual buying power decreases. Most countries target economic growth at a rate
of about 2% per year. With higher growth comes higher inflation, and in this situation central
banks typically raise interest rates to increase the cost of borrowing in an attempt to slow
spending within the economy. A change in interest rates may signal a change in currency rates.
Deflation is the opposite of inflation; it occurs during times of recession and is a sign of
economic stagnation. Central banks often lower interest rates to boost consumer spending in
hopes of reversing this trend.
4. Trade balance
A country's balance of trade is the total value of its exports, minus the total value of its imports.
If this number is positive, the country is said to have a favorable balance of trade. If the
difference is negative, the country has a trade gap, or trade deficit. Trade balance impacts supply
and demand for a currency. When a country has a trade surplus, demand for its currency
increases because foreign buyers must exchange more of their home currency in order to buy its
goods. A trade deficit, on the other hand, increases the supply of a countrys currency and could
lead to devaluation if supply greatly exceeds demand.
5. Central bank actions
With interest rates in several major economies already very low (and set to stay that way for the
time being), central bank and government officials are now resorting to other, less commonly
used measures to directly intervene in the market and influence economic growth. For example,
quantitative easing is being used to increase the money supply within an economy. It involves
the purchase of government bonds and other assets from financial institutions to provide the
banking system with additional liquidity.

Interpretation
The mean difference of the year from 1973 to 1990 is about .01889210 (lower) and .18115049
(Upper) at 95% confidence Interval and the significance level is .019. And mean difference of
the year from 1991 to 2008 is about .02001534(lower) and .04795158 (Upper) and thesignificance level is .000 which is much more lower than the year from 1973 to 1990. So we can
say that the Dollar value has Appriciated more at the previous time than the recent time. And the
value of Taka depriciated from 1991 to 2008 at a lower pace.

that the Pound value has appreciated more at the previous time than the recent time, and another
thing we can see that the value of Pound has depreciated in the recent time. The value of Taka
was very strong against Pound from 1991 to 2008.

terms, sometimes Indian Rupee value appreciated and sometimes depreciated. But we can also
see that the Rupee value appreciated sharply in very recent period. So, now a days the value of
Taka is not strong against Indian Rupee.

CONCLUSION
As undergraduate student our level of knowledge is not that vast, so our study may not address
all issues related to our study. Inflation rates of Bangladesh are collected from a data providing
website, www.indexmundi.com. and is subject to doubt as world recession tells us
lower inflation rates in 2007, 2008 and 2009 years. But here case is different and their
information is based on commodity price level which may be the reason of the difference.
However, we have come to that point; we are examining the truth that inflation affects exchange
rates in a precise manner and from Bangladesh perspective we have tried to prove the fact. Since
fundamental analysis is about looking at the intrinsic value of an investment, its application in
for ex entails looking at the economic conditions that affect the valuation of a nation's currency.
Here we look at some of the major fundamental factors that play a role in the movement of a
currency.
