The weighted average of a country's currency in relation to an index or basket of other significant currencies is known as the real effective exchange rate (REER). The relative trade balance of each country's currency is compared to the trade balance of every other country in the index to establish the weights.
Why is REER higher than NEER?
REER is higher than NEER because a rise in REER may indicate that imports are becoming less expensive while exports are becoming more exclusive and costly than imports. As a result, it can be said that an increase may signal a decline in trade competitiveness.
What is the difference between nominal and real exchange rate?
The actual exchange rate indicates how much domestic products and services may be exchanged for foreign goods and services, whereas the nominal exchange rate indicates how much foreign currency can be exchanged for a unit of the domestic currency.
What happens when REER increases?
An increase in REER suggests a loss in trade competitiveness since it means that exports become more expensive and imports get less expensive.
What is NEER in the economy?
A weighted average of multiple different foreign currencies is used to calculate NEER, which is a measure of a currency's value. Increases in NEER signify that the local currency has gained value relative to the weighted basket of currencies used by its trading partners.
