Why Real Exchange Rate matters for AUD
A rising REER means Australia's goods and services are becoming more expensive in real terms relative to its trading partners, potentially weighing on export competitiveness and the trade balance.
How to interpret this series
An overvalued REER is a warning sign: if Australia's exports become uncompetitive, the nominal aud may eventually depreciate to restore equilibrium. An undervalued REER can attract merger and acquisition (M&A) activity from foreign buyers.
