In the late 1970s, Britain seemed to have struck it rich. Having developed its North Sea oil-producing ?elds in earlier years, Britain suddenly found its real income higher as a result of a dramatic increase in world oil prices in 1979-1980. In the early 1980s, however, oil prices receded as the world economy slid into a deep recession and world oil demand faltered.
In the following chart, we show index numbers for the average real exchange rate of the pound against several foreign currencies. (Such average index numbers are called real effective exchange rates.) A rise in one of these numbers indicates a real appreciation of the pound, that is, an increase in Britain's price level relative to the average price level abroad measured in pounds. A fall is a real depreciation.
