currencies. It lets banks and other
institutions easily buy and sell
currencies.
The purpose of the foreign
exchange market is :
To help international trade and
investment.
A foreign exchange market helps
businesses convert one currency
to another.

business to import European goods
and pay Euros, even though the
business's income is in U.S. dollars.
In a typical foreign exchange
transaction a party purchases a
quantity of one currency by paying a
quantity of another currency. The
modern foreign exchange market
started forming during the 1970s when
countries gradually switched to
floating exchange rates from the
previous exchange rate regime, which
remained fixed.
