In 1950, after the Second World War, Canada became the first major country to adopt a floating exchange rate. In 1962, we went back to a fixed exchange rate only to float our currency again in 1970. In all, the Canadian dollar has floated for 42 out of the past 50 years. No other major country has had as much experience with a floating exchange rate. This does not mean that our floating exchange rate regime has somehow outlasted all its critics! For the most part, though, the debate over the years has been about the market value of the Canadian dollarâwhether it has floated too high or too low, especially from the viewpoint of certain exporters and importers.
Main Difference The main difference between diffusion and osmosis is, diffusion is a process in which movement of particles take place from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. While osmosis is defined as a process in which movement of water molecules take place through a semi permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to lower water concentration.
Home Â» Simple diffusion. simple diffusion is unassisted diffusion. Solutes transported this way are either: 1. Lipid - soluble or 2. Small enough to pass through the membrane pores.
