Explanation:

  • A fixed exchange rate denotes a nominal exchange rate that is set firmly by the monetary authority with respect to a foreign currency or a basket of foreign currencies. By contrast, a floating exchange rate is determined in foreign exchange markets depending on demand and supply, and it generally fluctuates constantly.

  • A flexible exchange-rate system is a monetary system that allows the exchange rate to be determined by supply and demand.
