At the same time, there is a need to increase the monetary value of GDP, that is, the amount of currency employed in the economy, without causing inflation.

A Devaluation Option for Southern Europe

The equivalent in United States dollars of other currencies is established on the basis of the United Nations operational rates of exchange.

MUNICH Because China has pegged its undervalued currency, the renminbi, to the dollar, every weakening of the dollar in the wake of America s financial crisis has also meant a weakening of the renminbi vis à vis other world currencies. But is China really to blame for the eruption of a global currency war?

When this pattern is combined with the depreciation of the new Israeli shekel (NIS) in 2003 and then its appreciation in 2004, it is clear that while the Palestinian trade balance does not benefit from the depreciation of the Israeli currency, it suffers the full negative impact of currency appreciation.

On the supply side, however, the currency devaluations of the major natural rubber producers, i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, may stimulate output since the devaluations have increased growers returns despite declines in dollar prices.

(b) The 92.6 million in cash and term deposits includes the following United States dollar equivalent amounts of non convertible currencies

But there is a more fundamental point From an economic viewpoint, currency manipulation or unfair undervaluation are exceedingly hard to pin down conceptually. The renminbi's slight depreciation against the dollar in 2014 is not evidence of it many other currencies, most notably the yen and the euro, depreciated by far more last year.

As the United States dollar strengthened against nearly all major currencies, the overall currency effect on the Fund was negative in United States dollar terms.

For a given supply of money, an increase in the production of goods will increase the value of a currency, because each unit will buy more goods. Likewise, increasing the supply of money relative to a fixed amount of output will lead to a decline in the purchasing power of money, as each currency unit buys fewer goods.

As it is, the valuation of a country s currency is not so much determined by the performance of its economy as by the forces of supply and demand on foreign exchange markets. For a given supply of money, an increase in the production of goods will increase the value of a currency, because each unit will buy more goods.

One approach centers on prices, with the consumer price index appearing to be the most obvious indicator. The problem is that the relationship between the money supply (which ultimately determines the value of money) and prices is an unstable one.

Unfortunately, monetary policymakers effort to operationalize the objective of ensuring that the value of money remains stable has taken on a life of its own. Today s economics textbooks assume that a primary objective of central banks is to stabilize consumer prices, rather than the value of money.

a A higher real exchange rate signifies a real depreciation of the local currency.

(c) Excessive capital inflows can create problems such as currency appreciation, a rise in asset prices, an increase in money supply and subsequent inflationary pressures.

As fiscal austerity and asymmetric adjustment have taken their toll on economic performance, monetary policy has borne the burden of supporting faltering growth via weaker currencies and higher net exports. But the resulting currency wars are partly a zero sum game If one currency is weaker, another currency must be stronger and if one country s trade balance improves, another s must worsen.

In addition to short term policy headaches, stronger currencies carry potentially significant costs in terms of hollowing out industrial and service sectors. So, after a varying mix of tolerance and heterodox responses, officials are pulled into loosening their own monetary policy in order to weaken their countries currencies or, at a minimum, limit the pace of appreciation.

With inferior credit ratings and the expectation of national currency depreciation, they had paid interest rates that were four times higher than those paid by developed countries.

You take it anywhere else, it's not worth anything.

The list of such currency movements which so far has included the euro's 25 fall against the dollar, a record low for the Mexican peso, and disorderly depreciations of the Brazilian real and other emerging economy currencies is getting longer by the day. Even healthy economies like South Korea are keen to weaken their currencies, leaving the US alone in its willingness to tolerate significant currency appreciation.

Monetary stabilization programmes and currency controls introduced since 1992 have managed to reduce inflation, GDP is on the rise and gradual recovery in production and trade is taking place (see table 1).

This has forced the State to use local currency to finance Iraqi imports, thereby devaluing this currency outside Iraq and reducing its purchasing power.

(iv) In the case of staff members whose salary scales are established in currencies other than United States dollars, the relevant amounts to which the assessment applies shall be fixed at the local currency equivalent of the above mentioned dollar amounts at the time the salary scales of the staff member concerned are approved

If this increase resulted from an increase in supply, the value of money will go down, which means inflation. But if it resulted from an increase in demand, the value of money will increase, which means deflation.

So we'll talk, start talking about the time value of money today and we'll continue this in the next week.

This includes such factors as home market growth constraints, liberalization and currency appreciation.
