Having a low valued currency can be good or bad. If its weak or low then more foreign investment because things will cost less money, but inports whether its raw material or products will cost much more.

There are 2 sides to the coin.

Example.

China. The recently started raising the value of their currency which has been pegged artificially low making their products cheap. Their currency doesnt fluctuate on the open market yet.

However look at their GPD growth year after year...average 8-10% maybe. Thats because the value of their currency is so low that their products are cheap to the rest of the world.

WOW what a diversion

 

[Jakboi]

But yeah the currency is at its lowest...which has more negatives then positives i think...

I was just trying to put lipstick on a pig.

The traditional view of a low currency is personified in the relationship between Canada and the US.
First, we are each the others largest trading partners.
Second, a Canadian dollar worth 83-87 cents US makes our raw materials cheaper in the US market. A large segment of the Canadian economy is based in the resources area. It makes them competative compared to shipping them in from somewhere else.
Third, a US dollar worth 1.13 - 1.17 Canadian makes our manufactured goods more competative in our own market.

It will be interesting to see what happens to our manufacturing sector with the lower US dollar.
