As per concept , an exchange rate is simply define as cost of one currency in terms of another currency. The relative value of one country's currency depend on many factors , some of them are :

differential in inflation rate (purchase power)
differential in interest rate
amount of export and import and its differential between two countries
government policy
intervention from central bank

here, the exchange rate between INR and US$ has been used to explain the concept :

Date	Exchange rate	Possible reason
1-Mar-00	INR 43.625/US$
1-Mar-10	INR 46.085/US$	Differential in exchange rate from base level of 1st march 2000 is due to differential in Inflation rate between two countries , and export import gap between the countries
1-Mar-19	INR 70.811/US$	Differential in exchange rate from previous level of 1st march 2010 is mainly due to federal policy , interest rate changes,high level of inflow , differential in Inflation rate between two countries , and export import gap between the countries
