Which one of the following is the major advantage of flexible exchange rate system?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Under a flexible exchange rate system the rate is determined by market demand and supply of foreign exchange. Its major advantage is that movements in the exchange rate automatically correct BoP surpluses and deficits: a deficit depreciates the currency, boosting exports and curbing imports, without central bank intervention or large reserves.
