Yes, a nominal exchange rate depreciation is a decrease in E. If at the same time, domestic prices are increasing much faster relative to the foreign prices, then P/P∗ could increase to swamp the decreasein E so that ε = EP/P∗ increases, i.e., a real exhange rate appreciation.

Real Exchange Rate Appreciation vs. Nominal Exchange Rate Depreciation
Real exchange rate appreciation and nominal exchange rate depreciation can occur simultaneously due to differences in inflation rates between two countries.
Real Exchange Rate Appreciation
- Real exchange rate is the nominal exchange rate adjusted for price levels in both countries.
- Real exchange rate appreciation occurs when a country's goods and services become relatively more expensive compared to another country.
- This can happen when the inflation rate in one country is lower than in another, leading to a lower rate of increase in prices.
Nominal Exchange Rate Depreciation
- Nominal exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency.
- Nominal exchange rate depreciation happens when the value of a currency falls relative to another currency.
- This can occur due to various factors such as changes in supply and demand for the currency, economic conditions, and market speculation.
Simultaneous Real Appreciation and Nominal Depreciation
- When a country's inflation rate is lower than that of its trading partners, its real exchange rate appreciates.
- At the same time, if the nominal exchange rate of the country's currency falls relative to its trading partners, it results in nominal exchange rate depreciation.
- Therefore, it is possible to have a situation where there is a real exchange rate appreciation and a nominal exchange rate depreciation occurring concurrently.
