Germany
Goods are produced to make money. If people want the goods and can afford them, they will purchase these goods and this will cause the producer to make more of these goods.
If the exchange rate for a country goes up then the trading country will have to pay more to purchase goods from that country. If the exchange rate goes down then the trading country will have to pay less to purchase goods from that country.Conversely, if the exchange rate goes up for a country then it has strong purchasing power in that it can purchase goods from the trading country at a cheaper price. If the exchange rate goes down then it will have to pay more to purchase goods from their trading partners.For example, currently, because the UK has a strong pound against the US dollar, it makes our exports expensive to purchase by the US; however, we are able to purchase their goods relatively cheaply (property, holidays etc); conversely, the pound has weakened against the Euro thereby making our European holidays more expensive; however it makes it cheaper for the Europeans to come to the UK.
The US is number 1 in the manufacturing of goods, followed closely by China. China is expected to surpass the US by 2011. Germany is #3.
In the open market people are free to purchase what they want. The free market allows people to negotiate and pay for the goods as they see fit.
