Two Markets

Loan Market

Savers and BorrowersS = I + NCO

Savings =

Domestic Investment + Net Capital Outflow

Supply = Demand

Two Things

Invest at homeInvest abroad

NCO > 0

Less Invest at homeMore Invest abroad

Investing more in other countries than your own

NCO < 0

More Invest at homeLess Invest abroad

Other countries want to invest in your country

Supply and Demand of Loanable Funds

Depends on the real interest rate

Remember

Nominal Rate = Real Rate + Inflation Rate

Nominal = Real + Inflation N = R + I

Foreign Currency Exchange Market

NCO = NXNet Capital Outflow = Net Exports

Foreign Currency Exchange Market

If NX > 0Selling more than buyingWhat to do with cash? Must buy foreign assets

Remember foreign currency is a foreign asset

Foreign Currency Exchange Market

If NX < 0Buying more than sellingMust sell domestic assets

to pay for purchases

Foreign Currency Exchange Market

At the Equilibrium Exchange Rate:Demand for currency from

foreigners from net exports =Supply of currency from citizens

from net capital outflow

Low rates stimulate exports

High rates discourage exports
