Moreover, lower forex means higher external debt. Therefore, countries with huge debt shouldn't have low forex too?

In my country, both trade decifit and external debt are high but gov still keeps a stable nominal forex while inflation is escalating (which means REER decrease), why?

the exchange rate is determine by markets which make capital inflows and outflows match. This includes trade, investments, tourism, aid, and loans. Inflation happens in all countries and only if the difference in large would it have much effect on exchange rates in a years time.
