When local governments provide a favorable economic environment, the demand and value of their currencies will also increase. WikiWealth's Fundamental Currency Analysis is a combination of four different valuation methods: investment flows, purchase price parity, interest rate parity, and inflation rate parity (see Fundamental Currency Analysis). WikiWealth, and website visitors, examine the conditions for companies to prosper through the "Investor Survey." Countries with strong fundamental freedom, transparency, stability, strengths & opportunities (see Main Street Analysis), will aid the long term potential of companies. A "Buy" rating from both approaches mean a country's currency has high potential to increase in value.
