Given that real exchange rates fluctuate, when would be the best time to enter the market of a foreign country as an exporter to that market?
What will be an ideal response?
Firms often introduce new products in foreign markets when the foreign currencies are strong in real terms. Doing so allows the new entrant to the market to set a comparatively low foreign currency price for a product so that it can better compete and become an established player in the market. This strategy allows the exporter to develop loyal customers who will then potentially tolerate increases in the foreign currency price that the exporter feels compelled to introduce when the foreign currency eventually depreciates relative to the exporter's currency.
