an exchange rate is the value of one currency in terms of another currency, while the TWI measures the value against a basket (or technically, a regimen) of other currencies based on the strength of our trade and financial links

thus, while, for instance, the $AUD may depreciate against the $USD, it can still appreciate against the TWI if the $AUD appreciates against the currencies of our other trading partners such as New Zealand and Japan
