B.2 only
C.Both 1 and 2
D.Neither 1 nor 2SIR COULD YOU EXREALTIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INFLATION AND EXPORTS I CANT GET IN TO THE ANSWER THAT PROVIDED BY THE ACCA
I think the correct answer is C. Both 1 and 2. An appreciation in the value of a country’s currency can have both positive and negative impacts on exports and domestic inflation.
When a country’s currency appreciates, it becomes stronger relative to other currencies which can lead to a decrease in exports. However, it can also make imports cheaper, which can benefit domestic consumers.
An appreciation in the currency’s value can lead to an increase in the rate of domestic inflation, because imported goods become cheaper, increasing demand for imports and decreasing demand for domestic goods. So domestic producers may increase their prices to compensate for the decrease in demand, leading to higher inflation.
