Referring only to real economic variables as opposed to nominal, or monetary ones, as in real models. 4. Used with "appreciation" or "depreciation," refers to the real exchange rate. Thus a real appreciation means that the nominal value of a country's currency has increased by more than its relative price level may have decreased, so that the prices of its goods relative to foreign goods have increased. 5. The name of one unit of the Brazilian currency. One real equals 100 centavos. Pronounced "ray-all'".

The real price of foreign goods; i. E. , the quantity of domestic goods needed to purchase a unit of foreign goods. Equals the reciprocal of the terms of trade. Equivalent to definition 1. 3. The relative price of traded goods in terms of nontraded goods.
