In
finance, an
exchange rate (also known as a
foreign-exchange rate,
forex rate,
FX rate or
Agio) between two
currencies is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another. It is also regarded as the value of one country’s currency in terms of another currency. For example, an interbank exchange rate of 119
Japanese yen (JPY, ¥) to the
United States dollar (US$) means that ¥119 will be exchanged for each US$1 or that US$1 will be exchanged for each ¥119. In this case it is said that the price of a dollar in terms of yen is ¥119, or equivalently that the price of a yen in terms of dollars is $1/119.
