Here is a chart of the CPI and the euro exchange rate from January 2020 to January 2023, based on the data from OECD¹ and Trading Economics². The CPI is measured by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which is the official inflation indicator for the euro area³. The exchange rate is the monthly average of the euro against the US dollar.

As you can see, the CPI and the exchange rate do not always have a clear or consistent relationship. Sometimes they move in opposite directions, sometimes they move in the same direction, and sometimes they are stable or fluctuate within a narrow range. This shows that there are other factors that influence the exchange rate besides the CPI¹²³⁴⁵⁶.
