DEFINITION of 'Exchange Rate'. The price of a nationâs currency in terms of another currency. An exchange rate thus has two components, the domestic currency and a foreign currency, and can be quoted either directly or indirectly. In a direct quotation, the price of a unit of foreign currency is expressed in terms of the domestic currency.
The nominal exchange rate, very simply, is the price of one countryâs currency in terms of another countryâs currency, i.e. the U.S. dollar (USD) price of the British pound (GBP), and is a concept fundamental to the understanding of international economics.
