Q: what is a "soft currency"?
Category: glossary , Asked by: Leonel N. From Luxembourg, Luxembourg
A: Another name for "weak currency". The values of soft currencies fluctuate often, and other countries do not want to hold these currencies due to political or economic uncertainty within the country with the soft currency. Currencies from most developing countries are considered to be soft currencies. Often, governments from these developing countries will set unrealistically high exchange rates, pegging their currency to a currency such as the U.S. Dollar. Visit Xforex
