Exchange Currency

strong dollar policy

A monetary policy that favors a strong foreign exchange rate for the U.S. Dollar (USD/AUD 1.35, which indicates that one U.S. Dollar will buy 1.35 Australian Dollars). A strong dollar makes imported goods more affordable for the American consumer, but makes U.S. exported goods more costly on the international market. Compare to Weak Dollar Policy.
