Also known as depreciation
In macroeconomics and modern monetary policy, a devaluation is an official lowering of the value of a country's currency within a fixed exchange-rate system, in which a monetary authority formally sets a lower exchange rate of the national currency in relation to a foreign reference currency or currency basket. The opposite of devaluation, a change in the exchange rate making the domestic currency more expensive, is called a revaluation. A monetary authority (e.g., a central bank) maintains a fixed value of its currency by being ready to buy or sell foreign currency with the domestic currency
A devaluation is when a country's government officially lowers the value of its currency compared to other currencies in a fixed exchange-rate system. This matters because it affects how much foreign goods cost to buy and how competitive a country's exports are in global markets.
