The nominal interest rate in Fiji is 3%, while the nominal interest rate in the U. S. is 5%. Real interest rates in both countries are 2%. According to purchasing power parity (PPP), the Fijian dollar (F$) may be expected to by %.

1.98%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

As we know that

PPP equation i.e

Nominal Interest rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate

Now

The Inflation rate for Fiji is

= 5% - 2%

= 3%

And, the Inflation rate for US is

= 3% - 2%

= 1%

As we can see that the inflation rate for Fiji is more than the inflation rate for US so we should be depreciated the currency by considering the inflation differential which is shown below:

= (1 + 3%) ÷ (1 + 1%) -1

= 1.98%
