A soft currency is also called a weak currency. See also: Strong currency.

soft currency

a FOREIGN CURRENCY that is in weak demand but in abundant supply on the FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET. Soft currency status is usually associated with an economically weak country that is running a large deficit in its BALANCE OF PAYMENTS; the supply of the currency is high to finance the purchase of imports, but demand for the currency is relatively weak because the amount of it being required for the purchase of exports is much lower. Under a FLOATING EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM, however, the demand for, and supply of, the currency should be, in theory, brought into balance by a DEPRECIATION 1 in its EXCHANGE-RATE value. Compare HARD CURRENCY.
