  • Country’s Balance Sheet: The balance sheet of a country reflects its forex earnings vis-a-vis its forex expenditure.
  • Government Debt: The more debt the country is in, the more will be the depreciation in the country’s currency.
  • Terms of Trade: The terms of trade refers to the ratio of export and import prices. If forex revenue generated is more than the forex expenditure, there will be a higher demand for the country's currency.
