Any country, government, firm, or individual that engages in international trade must understand the intimate relationship between trade and exchange rates. There definitely exists a significant relationship between exchange rates, capital mobility, and international trade. Therefore, whether determined by exogenous shocks or by deliberate government policies, the relative valuations of currencies and their volatility would most ultimately have significant repercussions on the volume of international trade, the balance of payments, and the overall economic performance of a country. Given the above realization, this program is, therefore, structured to investigate the importance of exchange rates and its effects on international trade. Drawing from a wealth of experience, the facilitators would analyze the impacts of exchange rate volatility and the consequent misalignment on trade. In addition, facilitators would explore the effects of exchange rate misalignments on governments’ trade policy decisions. Finally, and by the end of the program, delegates would be engaged in discussions that focus on contemporary and topical issues that are relevant to the subject matter. Such discussions would be with a view to identifying and examining practical recommendations that would help alleviate the challenges that practitioners and stakeholders encounter.
