It appears to take the position that there is a one-sided cause-effect relationship between balance of payments and rate of exchange. This situation can cause a deficit in the balance of payments. On the other hand, if we have under-valuated exchange rates, exports will be stimulated and imports discouraged; that will tend to cause a surplus in the balance of payments. 2.2 Theory about formation of exchange rates Similar to any merchandise which is for sale, the foreign
