About Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER)

  • REER represents the inflation-adjusted, trade-weighted average value of a currency against its trading partners and it is often used as an indicator of external competitiveness.
  • The real effective exchange rate (REER) is the weighted average of a country's currency in relation to an index or basket of other major currencies.
  • The weights are determined by comparing the relative trade balance of a country's currency against that of each country in the index.
  • An increase in a nation's REER is an indication that its exports are becoming more expensive and its imports are becoming cheaper, reducing its trade competitiveness.
