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.

Devalvering är en form av valutareform som innebär nedskrivning av värdet på en valuta med fast växelkurs. Motsatsen till devalvering är revalvering. Vid rörlig växelkurs kallas en minskning av valutans värde för depreciering och det går inte att styra en depreciering. En devalvering görs vanligen i syfte att förbättra landets bytesbalans, det vill säga nettot av ett lands affärer med utlandet. En devalvering gynnar exporten och hämmar importen. Personer som lånat pengar i främmande valuta missgynnas. Eftersom en devalvering gör importerade varor dyrare i termer av inhemsk valuta riskerar inflationen att öka.
