The demand for foreign currency rises in the following situations:

  1. When price of a foreign currency falls, imports from that, foreign, country become cheaper. So, imports increase and hence, the demand for foreign currency rises. For example, if price of 1 US dollar falls from Rs 60 to T 55, then imports from The USA will increase as **** goods will become relatively cheaper. It will raise the demand for US dollar.

  2. When a foreign currency becomes cheaper in terms of the domestic currency, it promotes tourism to that country. As a result, demand for foreign currency rises.

  3. When price of a foreign currency falls, its demand rises as more people want to make gains from speculative activities.
