Correct Answer: Depreciation of the domestic currency


Solution : A decrease in interest rates in a country is likely to result in a depreciation of the domestic currency. This is because lower interest rates make a country's assets, such as bonds and bank deposits, less attractive to foreign investors, who will seek higher returns elsewhere. As a result, the demand for the domestic currency decreases, causing its value to decline relative to other currencies.

Conversely, an increase in interest rates in a country is likely to result in an appreciation of the domestic currency, as higher interest rates make a country's assets more attractive to foreign investors and increase demand for the domestic currency.
