(Note: to check if PPP holds, you need to compare the value of that is calculated by using the formula on Page 259 to the percentage change of exchange rate on Step 4 above. If these two numbers are fairly close, then PPP holds. Otherwise, no.)
8. Forecast the exchange rate changes for the near future and provide reasons and supports
. 9. Identify and explain the potential opportunities and risks for the picked currency in the future
