"Fluctuations in exchange rates, other things remaining the same, create a situation in which money buys the same amount of goods and services in different currencies." What does the previous statement describe? Will these fluctuations occur in the short run or the long run?
The previous statement describes the process through which exchange rate parity is achieved across countries. This happens when the currency exchange market is allowed to operate freely, the exchange rate fluctuations finally result in a situation where the same amount of currency buys the same goods and services across countries. These fluctuations occur only in the short run and in the long run the exchange rates stabilise to achieve exchange rate parity.
