Abstract

Currency depreciation, also known as devaluation, plays an important role in international finance and economics The unraveling currency depreciation system involves a multifaceted interaction between market, political, and economic factors. It happens when a country's currency depreciates in value in the foreign exchange market in relation to other currencies. This phenomenon is caused by a number of reasons, such as interest rates, inflation, trade imbalances, geopolitical events, and market speculation. Policymakers, companies, and investors must comprehend the underlying causes of currency devaluation. Currency depreciation has a variety of effects. A weaker home currency can help exporters compete more successfully in global markets, which could increase export volumes. On the other hand, when importers buy products and services valued in foreign currencies, their expenses go up. The rising cost of imported goods may also put inflationary pressure on consumers. Moreover, governments and businesses in nations where there is currency depreciation may find it difficult to repay international debt that is valued in stronger currencies.
