What is the impact of GDP growth on the exchange rate?
The substantial growth of a country's GDP reflects the vigorous development of the country's economy, the increase of national income and the subsequent improvement of consumption power. In this case, the central bank may raise interest rates and tighten the money supply. The good performance of the national economy and the rise in interest rates will increase the attractiveness of the country's currency.

On the other hand, if a country's GDP shows negative growth, it means that the country's economy is in recession and its consumption capacity is reduced. At this time, the central bank may cut interest rates again to stimulate economic growth. Falling interest rates and sluggish economic performance will reduce the attractiveness of the country's currency. Therefore, generally speaking, high economic growth rate will promote the rise of the country's currency exchange rate, while low economic growth rate will cause the decline of the country's currency exchange rate.

Differences in economic growth rates have many effects on exchange rate changes:

First of all, a country's high economic growth rate means an increase in income and domestic demand, which will increase the country's imports and lead to a current account deficit, which will lead to a decline in its currency exchange rate.

Second, if the country's economy is export-oriented, economic growth is to produce more export products, and the growth of exports will make up for the increase in imports and ease the downward pressure on the exchange rate of its currency.

Third, a country's high economic growth rate means a rapid increase in labor productivity and a reduction in costs, thus improving the competitive position of domestic products, helping to increase exports and curb imports; And the high economic growth rate makes the country's currency optimistic in the foreign exchange market, so the country's currency exchange rate will have an upward trend.
