BPP kit Mock2 Q1

SSun7y ago
Dear Sir, BPP kit Mock2 Q1, why do we have to use Interest rate parity to calculate the forward rate, not Purchasing power parity? Thanks

It is always interest rate parity that determines forward rates - I explain this in my free lectures. It is the same reason as for money market hedging. Purchasing power parity is used to forecast future spot rates, which are certainly not the same as forward rates.
