Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aside from factors such as interest rates and inflation, the currency exchange rate is one of the most important determinants of a country’s relative level of economic health. A higher-valued currency makes a country’s imports less expensive and its exports more expensive in foreign markets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why are Currencies Different Around the World? Different currencies exist because different countries have various economic landscapes. In most cases, a county which exports a lot of goods will aim to have a low-value currency to keep on top of their trade advantage and attract people to buy their products.

Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of a fixed exchange rate system is to keep a currency’s value within a narrow band. Fixed exchange rates provide greater certainty for exporters and importers and help the government maintain low inflation.
