This paper investigates the relationship between exchange rate volatility and international trade. The study aims to examine how fluctuations in exchange rates can impact the volume and patterns of cross-border trade. Using a panel of data from various countries over a specified time period, the paper employs econometric models to analyze the effects of exchange rate volatility on trade flows. Findings reveal that exchange rate volatility can have a significant negative effect on international trade. The analysis indicates that higher volatility tends to reduce trade volume and can lead to shifts in trade patterns, favoring countries with more stable currencies. Additionally, the study identifies certain factors that mitigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on trade, such as trade agreements and economic diversification. The results suggest that policymakers should consider implementing measures to stabilize exchange rates to foster international trade growth.
