Why currency value fluctuations seems...

The table shows a simplified imagined trading between nations — where the United States buys oil from Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia buys luxury bags from United Kingdom. If this table is right — say when the US$ decreases in value — since Saudi Arabia sells oil using the US$, even when they sell the same amount of oil at the same price, their income decreases so much until they can't afford luxury bags from United Kingdom anymore.

And see how the United Kingdom has different balances bcoz of the exchange rate. This means more money (profit) can be made simply by exchanging money — without the need to deliver commodities. When profit (or loss) can be made like this, it seems it will increase (or lose) money, out of thin air.

So that's the power of currency exchange? Did I understand it right? But since money is not a commodity — don't you think it is ... wrong (=-=)v والله أعلم

Why do I feel the currency market is like playing Drug Lord...

Is this why foreigners own properties when they don't even live there;
while the locals who actually do cannot afford the houses?

Big Red X

. the government is to protect its citizens

. the housing projects are to shelter the locals first as they live there
     . all citizens deserve to afford a home for their families
     . homelessness should not happen when there are vacant houses

. the priority is less on foreigners as they don't live there, they probably:
     . treat it as vacation house
     . rent it (outward cashflow), or
     . transact it for profit (profiteering)

Imagine it like exporting your food for higher price, but then your citizens become starved. So please, it's not all about the money - this is a humanitarian issue. ♥

Real businesses can be wrecked by currency exchange. It can cease businesses.
When businesses cease, it lessens the production of commodities:
. Less commodities → more demand → price inflation
. Less commodities → less jobs → more unemployment

I'm afraid if the warped money circulates mostly among the super rich.




Welcome
Peace be upon you

يا غلام إني أعلمك كلمات
احفظ الله يحفظك
احفظ الله تجده تجاهك

إذا سألت فاسأل الله
وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله

واعلم‏‏ أن الأمة لو اجتمعت
على أن ينفعوك بشيء
لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء
قد كتبه الله لك

وإن اجتمعوا
على أن يضروك بشيء
لم يضروك بشيء
إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك
