Countries with lower inflation rates will have lower interest rates. Based on your understanding of the relationship between relative inflation rates and exchange rates, identify whether the preceding statement is valid or invalid. The statement is invalid, because the nominal interest rate is independent of the inflation rate. The statement is valid, because the nominal interest rate is the sum of the real interest rate plus inflation, so lower inflation rates would result in lower interest rates.

Assume that initially nominal exchange rate is E1=4 ($1 = ±4) and domestic (Turkey) inflation rate is TTR=10% percent while the US inflation rate is tUS*=0%. If %3D export value of Turkey equals ± 200 billion and it's import is $80 billion. Initially Turkey NX (net export) would display t billion deficit. If the nominal exchange rate increases suddenly from E1=4 to E2=5,5 while the price levels are still fixed (at the first step of J Curve) NX would be t billion deficit in short run. If the real exchange rate elasticity of export is 0,4 and real exchange rate elasticity of import is -0,4. NX would converge to t billion deficit in long run.
