1. According to the tightness of the management system, it can be divided into official and market exchange rate ¢Ù official exchange rate (legal exchange rate) : this exchange rate mainly refers to the exchange rate stipulated by the official (such as the Ministry of Finance, the central bank or the designated foreign exchange professional bank).
