Activity 3 - Project
Design an infographic that compares the exchange rates for the countries to that of the United States (or other developed country).
For information on IMF and exchange rates see the resources.
Design an infographic to show the exchange rates in these developing (or undeveloped) countries to the US (if you are outside the US you may use your own country if it is a developed country or another major developed country that influences your business).
You can investigate other infographics online through an internet search to help you envision your own. However, yours must be original and specific to the countries you have chosen( KENYA & PERU).
1. Complete an investigation of the economic indicators of the countries you have chosen. This will allow you to analyze whether one is a viable location for your company.
Economic indicators should include at a minimum:
Unemployment
Housing
consumer price index
industrial production
gross domestic product
broadband internet penetration
retail sales
availability of resources both human and natural resources
Add this to your table for use in your infographics and to help you make your decision about new markets.
2. Investigate exchange rates and international market exchange.
