Summary
The changes in exchange rates in open economies are one of the most important factors which affect the main economic indicators. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the relation between interest and exchange rates In this regard, the effect of the interaction between interest-exchange rates on macroeconomic variables (inflation, balance of payments, debts, financial growth, investments) and on banking sector will be explained. Since the domestic currency loses its value in this way, the central bank sells foreign currency in order to maintain the foreign exchange rate IMF claimed that the high interest rates may prevent the possible value loss in the domestic currency This way, local assets would become valuable and the rate of foreign capital inflows would increase.
