Answer to Question 1

When exchange rates are set by supply and demand considerations, a currency is said to float. When a currency is pegged, its exchange rate is set to another currency. Hard currencies normally float. Soft currencies are sometimes pegged to their largest trading partners.

Answer to Question 2

An export-import bank is an independent bank established by a government to finance or insure the export sales of a country's products.
