    The document discusses nominal and real exchange rates. Nominal exchange rates refer to the rate at which currencies can be directly exchanged. Real exchange rates refer to the rate at which the goods and services of one country can be traded for another country's goods and services after accounting for price levels in both countries. An appreciation of a currency means it has increased in value against other currencies, while a depreciation means it has decreased in value. The nominal exchange rate is expressed as the number of units of a foreign currency equivalent to one U.S. dollar or vice versa. A change in exchange rates impacts a country's exports and imports by making their goods cheaper or more expensive on international markets.
