Solution

The increase in interest rates in New Zealand will have several effects on the foreign exchange market (FOREX).

  1. The cost of borrowing in New Zealand will increase. This means that fewer New Zealand firms will borrow money to invest, reducing the demand for New Zealand dollars (NZD) in the FOREX market.

  2. Similarly, the increased cost of borrowing will deter foreign individuals from borrowing from New Zealand banks, further decreasing the demand for NZD in the FOREX market.

  3. On the other hand, the increased interest rates will make saving in New Zealand more attractive. More New Zealand individuals will therefore save their money in NZD, increasing the demand for NZD in the FOREX market.

  4. Finally, the higher interest rates will also attract foreign savers. More foreign individuals will exchange their own currency into NZD in order to save in New Zealand, increasing the demand for NZD in the FOREX market.

In summary, the increase in interest rates in New Zealand will both decrease and increase the demand for NZD in the FOREX market, depending on whether the perspective is from borrowing or saving.
