Answer:

The correct answer is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the perspective of the United States, the demand for foreign currencies in exchange for dollars reflects purchases by Americans of goods, services, and assets from foreigners. The supply of foreign currencies in exchange for dollars reflects sales by Americans of goods, services, and assets to foreigners. The equilibrium exchange rate will bring the quantity of foreign exchange demanded by Americans into balance with the quantity supplied by foreigners. Thus, it will also bring purchases by Americans from foreigners into balance with sales by Americans to foreigners. See section: Determinants of the exchange rate.
