Complete/Correct Question:

The Bank of England is concerned that the British Pound is weakening against the U.S. Dollar. A method for the Bank of England to strengthen its currency would be to:

A. raise British interest rate levels

B. lower British interest rate levels

C. raise U.S. interest rate levels

D. lower U.S. interest rate levels

Answer:

A, raise British interest rate levels

Increasing the interest rate levels of the British will help strengthen the pound against the Dollar. This would mean that the United States is offering lower interest rate.

This is possible because a higher interest rate means that lenders will make higher returns compared to countries with lower interest rates.
