Relationships Between Inflation, Interest Rate
and Exchange Rates
By: Hesniati, SE., MM.
8Chapter
Chapter Objectives
• To explain the theories of purchasing power parity (PPP) and
international Fisher effect (IFE), and their implications for exchange
rate changes; and
• To compare the PPP theory, IFE theory, and theory of interest rate
parity (IRP).
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
• When one country’s inflation rate rises relative to that of another
country, decreased exports and increased imports depress the
country’s currency.
• The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) attempts to quantify
this inflation - exchange rate relationship.
Interpretations of PPP
• The absolute form of PPP, or the “law of one price,” suggests that
similar products in different countries should be equally priced when
measured in the same currency.
• The relative form of PPP accounts for market imperfections like
transportation costs, tariffs, and quotas. It states that the rate of
price changes should be similar.
Rationale behind PPP Theory
Suppose U.S. inflation > U.K. inflation.
⇒↑ U.S. imports from U.K. and ↓ U.S. exports to U.K., so £ appreciates.
This shift in consumption and the appreciation of the £ will continue
until
 in the U.S., priceU.K.goods ≥ priceU.S.goods, &
 in the U.K., priceU.S.goods ≤ priceU.K.goods.
Derivation of PPP
• Assume :
home country’s price index (Ph) = foreign country’s price index (Pf)
• When inflation occurs, the exchange rate will adjust to maintain PPP:
Pf(1 + If) (1 + ef) = Ph (1 + Ih)
where Ih = inflation rate in the home country
If = inflation rate in the foreign country
ef = % change in the value of the foreign
currency
Derivation of PPP
• Since Ph = Pf, solving for ef gives:
ef = (1 + Ih ) – 1
(1 + If )
⇒ If Ih > If, ef > 0 (foreign currency appreciates)
If Ih < If, ef < 0 (foreign currency depreciates)
If Ih = 5% & If = 3%,
ef = 1.05/1.03 – 1 = 1.94%
⇒From the home country perspective, both price indexes rise by 5%.
Simplified PPP Relationship
• When the inflation differential is small, the PPP relationship can be
simplified as
ef ≈ Ih
_
If
• Suppose IU.S. = 9%, IU.K. = 5%. Then PPP suggests that e£ ≈ 4%.
Then, U.K. goods will cost 5+4=9% more to U.S. consumers, while
U.S. goods will cost 9-4=5% more to U.K. consumers.

Testing the PPP Theory
Conceptual Test
• Plot the actual inflation differential and exchange rate % change for
two or more countries on a graph.
• If the points deviate significantly from the PPP line over time, then
PPP does not hold.
Testing the PPP Theory
Statistical Test
• Apply regression analysis to the historical exchange rates and
inflation differentials:
ef = a0 + a1{ (1+Ih)/(1+If) - 1 } + µ
• The appropriate t-tests are then applied to a0 and a1, whose
hypothesized values are 0 and 1 respectively.
Testing the PPP Theory
• Empirical studies indicate that the relationship between inflation
differentials and exchange rates is not perfect even in the long run.
• However, the use of inflation differentials to forecast long-run
movements in exchange rates is supported.
Why PPP Does Not Occur
PPP may not occur consistently due to:
confounding effects, and
• Exchange rates are also affected by differentials in interest rates, income
levels, and risk, as well as government controls.
lack of substitutes for traded goods.
PPP in the Long Run
• PPP can be tested by assessing a “real” exchange rate over time.
• The real exchange rate is the actual exchange rate adjusted for inflationary
effects in the two countries of concern.
• If this rate reverts to some mean level over time, this would suggest
that it is constant in the long run.
International Fisher Effect (IFE)
• According to the Fisher effect, nominal risk-free interest rates
contain a real rate of return and an anticipated inflation.
• If the same real return is required, differentials in interest rates may
be due to differentials in expected inflation.
• According to PPP, exchange rate movements are caused by inflation
rate differentials.
International Fisher Effect (IFE)
• The international Fisher effect (IFE) theory suggests that currencies
with higher interest rates will depreciate because the higher rates
reflect higher expected inflation.
• Hence, investors hoping to capitalize on a higher foreign interest rate
should earn a return no better than what they would have earned
domestically.

Derivation of the IFE
• According to the IFE, E(rf), the expected effective return on a foreign
money market investment, should equal rh, the effective return on a
domestic investment.
• rf = (1 + if)(1 + ef) – 1
if = interest rate in the foreign country
ef = % change in the foreign currency’s value
• rh =ih = interest rate in the home country
Derivation of the IFE
• Setting rf = rh : (1 + if)(1 + ef) – 1 = ih
• Solving for ef :
ef =
(1 + ih ) _ 1
(1 + if)
⇒ If ih > if, ef > 0 (foreign currency appreciates)
If ih < if, ef < 0 (foreign currency depreciates)
If ih = 8% & if = 9%, ef = 1.08/1.09 – 1 = -.92%
⇒This will make the return on the foreign investment equal to the
domestic return.
Derivation of the IFE
• When the interest rate differential is small, the IFE relationship can
be simplified as
ef ≈ ih
_
if
• If the British rate on 6-month deposits were 2% above the U.S.
interest rate, the £ should depreciate by approximately 2% over 6
months. Then U.S. investors would earn about the same return on
British deposits as they would on U.S. deposits.

Graphic Analysis of the IFE
• The point of the IFE theory is that if a firm periodically tries to
capitalize on higher foreign interest rates, it will achieve a yield that
is sometimes above and sometimes below the domestic yield.
• On the average, the firm would achieve a yield similar to that by a
corporation that makes domestic deposits only.
Tests of the IFE
• If the actual points of interest rates and exchange rate changes are
plotted over time on a graph, we can see whether the points are
evenly scattered on both sides of the IFE line.
• Empirical studies indicate that the IFE theory holds during some time
frames. However, there is also evidence that it does not consistently
hold.
Tests of the IFE
• A statistical test can be developed by applying regression analysis to
the historical exchange rates and nominal interest rate differentials:
ef = a0 + a1{ (1+ih)/(1+if) – 1 } + µ
• The appropriate t-tests are then applied to a0 and a1, whose
hypothesized values are 0 and 1 respectively.
Why the IFE Does Not Occur
• Since the IFE is based on PPP, it will not hold when PPP does not
hold.
• For example, if there are factors other than inflation that affect
exchange rates, the rates will not adjust in accordance with the
inflation differential.
Application of the IFE to the Asian Crisis
• According to the IFE, the high interest rates in Southeast Asian
countries before the Asian crisis should not attract foreign
investment because of exchange rate expectations.
• However, since some central banks were maintaining their
currencies within narrow bands, some foreign investors were
motivated.
Application of the IFE to the Asian Crisis
• Unfortunately for these investors, the efforts made by the central
banks to stabilize the currencies were overwhelmed by market
forces.
• In essence, the depreciation in the Southeast Asian currencies wiped
out the high level of interest earned.

Relationships Between Inflation, Interest Rates and Exchange Rates

  • 1. Relationships Between Inflation, Interest Rate and Exchange Rates By: Hesniati, SE., MM. 8Chapter
  • 2. Chapter Objectives • To explain the theories of purchasing power parity (PPP) and international Fisher effect (IFE), and their implications for exchange rate changes; and • To compare the PPP theory, IFE theory, and theory of interest rate parity (IRP).
  • 3. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) • When one country’s inflation rate rises relative to that of another country, decreased exports and increased imports depress the country’s currency. • The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) attempts to quantify this inflation - exchange rate relationship.
  • 4. Interpretations of PPP • The absolute form of PPP, or the “law of one price,” suggests that similar products in different countries should be equally priced when measured in the same currency. • The relative form of PPP accounts for market imperfections like transportation costs, tariffs, and quotas. It states that the rate of price changes should be similar.
  • 5. Rationale behind PPP Theory Suppose U.S. inflation > U.K. inflation. ⇒↑ U.S. imports from U.K. and ↓ U.S. exports to U.K., so £ appreciates. This shift in consumption and the appreciation of the £ will continue until  in the U.S., priceU.K.goods ≥ priceU.S.goods, &  in the U.K., priceU.S.goods ≤ priceU.K.goods.
  • 6. Derivation of PPP • Assume : home country’s price index (Ph) = foreign country’s price index (Pf) • When inflation occurs, the exchange rate will adjust to maintain PPP: Pf(1 + If) (1 + ef) = Ph (1 + Ih) where Ih = inflation rate in the home country If = inflation rate in the foreign country ef = % change in the value of the foreign currency
  • 7. Derivation of PPP • Since Ph = Pf, solving for ef gives: ef = (1 + Ih ) – 1 (1 + If ) ⇒ If Ih > If, ef > 0 (foreign currency appreciates) If Ih < If, ef < 0 (foreign currency depreciates) If Ih = 5% & If = 3%, ef = 1.05/1.03 – 1 = 1.94% ⇒From the home country perspective, both price indexes rise by 5%.
  • 8. Simplified PPP Relationship • When the inflation differential is small, the PPP relationship can be simplified as ef ≈ Ih _ If • Suppose IU.S. = 9%, IU.K. = 5%. Then PPP suggests that e£ ≈ 4%. Then, U.K. goods will cost 5+4=9% more to U.S. consumers, while U.S. goods will cost 9-4=5% more to U.K. consumers.

  • 10. Graphic Analysis of Purchasing Power Parity Inflation Rate Differential (%) home inflation rate – foreign inflation rate %∆ in the foreign currency’s spot rate-2 -4 2 4 1 3-1-3 PPP line Increased purchasing power of foreign goods Decreased purchasing power of foreign goods
  • 11. Testing the PPP Theory Conceptual Test • Plot the actual inflation differential and exchange rate % change for two or more countries on a graph. • If the points deviate significantly from the PPP line over time, then PPP does not hold.
  • 12. Testing the PPP Theory Statistical Test • Apply regression analysis to the historical exchange rates and inflation differentials: ef = a0 + a1{ (1+Ih)/(1+If) - 1 } + µ • The appropriate t-tests are then applied to a0 and a1, whose hypothesized values are 0 and 1 respectively.
  • 13. Testing the PPP Theory • Empirical studies indicate that the relationship between inflation differentials and exchange rates is not perfect even in the long run. • However, the use of inflation differentials to forecast long-run movements in exchange rates is supported.
  • 14. Why PPP Does Not Occur PPP may not occur consistently due to: confounding effects, and • Exchange rates are also affected by differentials in interest rates, income levels, and risk, as well as government controls. lack of substitutes for traded goods.
  • 15. PPP in the Long Run • PPP can be tested by assessing a “real” exchange rate over time. • The real exchange rate is the actual exchange rate adjusted for inflationary effects in the two countries of concern. • If this rate reverts to some mean level over time, this would suggest that it is constant in the long run.
  • 16. International Fisher Effect (IFE) • According to the Fisher effect, nominal risk-free interest rates contain a real rate of return and an anticipated inflation. • If the same real return is required, differentials in interest rates may be due to differentials in expected inflation. • According to PPP, exchange rate movements are caused by inflation rate differentials.
  • 17. International Fisher Effect (IFE) • The international Fisher effect (IFE) theory suggests that currencies with higher interest rates will depreciate because the higher rates reflect higher expected inflation. • Hence, investors hoping to capitalize on a higher foreign interest rate should earn a return no better than what they would have earned domestically.

  • 19. Derivation of the IFE • According to the IFE, E(rf), the expected effective return on a foreign money market investment, should equal rh, the effective return on a domestic investment. • rf = (1 + if)(1 + ef) – 1 if = interest rate in the foreign country ef = % change in the foreign currency’s value • rh =ih = interest rate in the home country
  • 20. Derivation of the IFE • Setting rf = rh : (1 + if)(1 + ef) – 1 = ih • Solving for ef : ef = (1 + ih ) _ 1 (1 + if) ⇒ If ih > if, ef > 0 (foreign currency appreciates) If ih < if, ef < 0 (foreign currency depreciates) If ih = 8% & if = 9%, ef = 1.08/1.09 – 1 = -.92% ⇒This will make the return on the foreign investment equal to the domestic return.
  • 21. Derivation of the IFE • When the interest rate differential is small, the IFE relationship can be simplified as ef ≈ ih _ if • If the British rate on 6-month deposits were 2% above the U.S. interest rate, the £ should depreciate by approximately 2% over 6 months. Then U.S. investors would earn about the same return on British deposits as they would on U.S. deposits.

  • 23. Graphic Analysis of the IFE • The point of the IFE theory is that if a firm periodically tries to capitalize on higher foreign interest rates, it will achieve a yield that is sometimes above and sometimes below the domestic yield. • On the average, the firm would achieve a yield similar to that by a corporation that makes domestic deposits only.
  • 24. Tests of the IFE • If the actual points of interest rates and exchange rate changes are plotted over time on a graph, we can see whether the points are evenly scattered on both sides of the IFE line. • Empirical studies indicate that the IFE theory holds during some time frames. However, there is also evidence that it does not consistently hold.
  • 25. Tests of the IFE • A statistical test can be developed by applying regression analysis to the historical exchange rates and nominal interest rate differentials: ef = a0 + a1{ (1+ih)/(1+if) – 1 } + µ • The appropriate t-tests are then applied to a0 and a1, whose hypothesized values are 0 and 1 respectively.
  • 26. Why the IFE Does Not Occur • Since the IFE is based on PPP, it will not hold when PPP does not hold. • For example, if there are factors other than inflation that affect exchange rates, the rates will not adjust in accordance with the inflation differential.
  • 27. Application of the IFE to the Asian Crisis • According to the IFE, the high interest rates in Southeast Asian countries before the Asian crisis should not attract foreign investment because of exchange rate expectations. • However, since some central banks were maintaining their currencies within narrow bands, some foreign investors were motivated.
  • 28. Application of the IFE to the Asian Crisis • Unfortunately for these investors, the efforts made by the central banks to stabilize the currencies were overwhelmed by market forces. • In essence, the depreciation in the Southeast Asian currencies wiped out the high level of interest earned.
