The global foreign exchange market size reached US$ 805 Billion in 2023.

Factors Affecting the Growth of the Global Foreign Exchange Industry:

Interest Rates:

Central banks play a crucial role in influencing the foreign exchange market through their control of interest rates. By adjusting interest rates, central banks impact the value of a country's currency. When interest rates are raised, lenders in that economy receive higher returns compared to other nations, making it more attractive for foreign capital. Consequently, this leads to an increase in the exchange rate. Conversely, lower interest rates have the opposite effect. Forex traders closely monitor central banks like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank for any changes in monetary policy and interest rates as these decisions can predict currency fluctuations. Higher interest rates can draw in foreign investments, boosting demand for the local currency, while lower interest rates can devalue it.

High Accessibility and Liquidity:

The forex market's growth and significance are largely driven by its exceptional accessibility and liquidity. Operating continuously for five weekdays, it allows participants worldwide to trade currencies without time constraints. This inclusivity accommodates a diverse range of players, from individual investors and small businesses to multinational corporations and central banks. The market's constant availability ensures high liquidity levels, enabling large currency volumes to be traded without major price fluctuations. Major currency pairs are easily accessible, facilitating quick transactions and increasing the market's attractiveness. Additionally, modern online trading platforms have further democratized forex trading, making it accessible to retail traders from anywhere in the world.

Increasing merger and acquisition among key players:

Strategic moves made by corporations, such as mergers, acquisitions, and expanding internationally, have a significant impact on the foreign exchange market. Multinational companies engaged in global commerce frequently deal with various currencies in their transactions. To navigate the complexities of operating across borders, businesses must convert currencies and use hedging strategies to mitigate potential risks. These financial activities require a deep understanding of the market and often involve large monetary transactions. Additionally, international mergers or acquisitions can result in substantial currency exchanges that drive notable market movements.
