Two Methods of Exchange Rate Quotation

The methods of exchange rate quotation are mainly divided into two categories: direct quotation and indirect quotation.

1. Direct Quotation

Direct quotation, also known as payable quotation, is a method of calculating how much of the domestic currency should be paid out based on a certain unit of foreign currency as the standard. In direct quotation, the quantity of foreign currency is fixed, called the base currency, while the quantity of domestic currency fluctuates, called the quote currency, indicating how many units of the domestic currency can be exchanged for one unit of foreign currency. Direct quotation is currently adopted by most countries, including China.

2. Indirect Quotation

Indirect quotation is a method of calculating how much of the foreign currency should be paid out based on a certain unit of domestic currency as the standard. In indirect quotation, the quantity of domestic currency is fixed, called the base currency, while the quantity of foreign currency fluctuates, called the quote currency, indicating how much of the domestic currency can be exchanged for one unit of foreign currency.

Comparison between Direct and Indirect Quotation

The main difference between direct and indirect quotation lies in which currency is fixed and which currency fluctuates. In direct quotation, the foreign currency is fixed, while the domestic currency fluctuates. In indirect quotation, the domestic currency is fixed, while the foreign currency fluctuates. The choice of quotation method depends on the convention and the preference of each country.

In conclusion, exchange rates can be quoted using the direct quotation method or the indirect quotation method. The direct quotation method is currently used by most countries, including China, where the domestic currency is used as the base currency and the foreign currency is quoted against it. The indirect quotation method, on the other hand, uses the foreign currency as the base currency and quotes the domestic currency against it. The choice of quotation method depends on the conventions and practices of each country.
