Could anyone please explain clearly the difference between fixed exchange rate and flexible exchange rate? In relation to fiscal policy, depreciation, adjustment of interest rate and the impacts etc

The value of a fixed exchange rate fluctuates only in relation to the value of the currency it is fixed against, a flexible exchange rate is subject to market value fluctuations based on the demand for the currency, etc

The impacts of a flexiable exchange rate can be a short term decline in the terms of trade which have impacts on internal prices such as the price of imported goods
