Both act as a wealth levy inflation means that bondholders suffer a real loss in proportion to their wealth and the size of the devaluation. If taxes on capital are not adjusted, holders of domestic stocks suffer a comparable loss.

I'm taxed to death here...! Yes, on property valued at a quarter of a million.

But the euro s depreciation is too recent to have made much difference yet. Historical evidence, not to mention Japan s experience with a falling yen, suggests that it takes several quarters, or even years, before the positive impact of currency depreciation on net exports is felt.

The Committee s recommendation to use GNP rather than national income for the current scale of assessments, therefore, means that it continues to base itself on an income rather than a product concept, but prior to provision for depreciation, for which the quality of estimates is variable.

Of course, the renminbi s recent depreciation was much smaller than the de facto currency devaluations engineered by the United States and the United Kingdom after the financial crisis of 2008. It was also nowhere near as significant as the devaluation that the Bank of Japan has pursued since 2012.

It involves increasing the value added tax while cutting payroll taxes. Our recent research demonstrates that such a fiscal devaluation has very similar effects on the economy in terms of its impact on GDP, consumption, employment, and inflation.

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.

This sharp devaluation increased further the cost of debt servicing and the debt to GDP ratio.

The forfeited assets of equivalent value become State property.

20. The national currency was devalued.

One need not be an economist to figure out that, while all currencies can (and do) depreciate against something else (like gold, land, and other real assets), by definition they cannot all weaken against each other. In order for some currencies to depreciate, others must appreciate.

Take the same country s current account deficit and ask how large a real depreciation is needed (making some assumptions about trade elasticities along the way) to close that external gap. If the recent real depreciation achieves that threshold, no further change in the exchange rate should be expected.

The mortgage can be as high as 70 per cent of the value of the property.

The value of non expendable property is disclosed in notes to the financial statements

Although the aim is to safeguard the rights of individuals in general, the legislature in the State of Kuwait guarantees the right of the owners of landed property to compensation in respect of any decrease in the value of their property due to its requisitioning by order of the Council of Ministers.

Reports on the value of non expendable property purchased by the implementing agencies out of UNEP funds should be obtained and the value of such property should be disclosed to the notes to the financial statements (para. 15).

A court filing says this translates to Colin owning property worth 316 million and Paul 176 million.

27. The value of non expendable property is maintained in an asset tracking system.

A more competitive currency would be welcome just as the sterling s collapse since 2008 has lifted UK exports, a weaker euro would help Mediterranean economies regain competitiveness for price sensitive exports. A fiscal devaluation slashing payroll taxes and replacing the revenues with a higher VAT would also help.

Lost property had an original value of 11.2 million.

A Devaluation Option for Southern Europe

This presents a decrease of some 30 per cent in the value of the United States dollar against the euro.

Another obstacle was the problem of sunken cost.

That's just what this Soule's figuring on running it right down to nothing.

So cows are dying, and cows are the most valued possession.

Well, no, Mr. Stephenson, you see, the point is, I haven't got any property.

And yet negative bonds yields are also occurring in countries and regions where the currency is depreciating and likely to depreciate further, including Germany, other parts of the eurozone core, and Japan. So, why are investors holding such assets?

The same is true of minimum wages. These distributive effects play an important role in the politics of exchange rate devaluations, and most of these effects appear in fiscal devaluations as well.

Indeed, French President Nicolas Sarkozy s government just announced one. And concerns that a fiscal devaluation will conflict with euro rules can be met by simply pointing out that Germany s government carried one out in 2007, though by another name, when it raised VAT from 16 to 19 and cut employers contribution to social insurance, from 6.5 to 4.2 .

You write the check, and instantly it depreciates 30 percent.

The value of the dollar declines as the rate of inflation rises.

I'm going to criticize your work with a baseball bat.

10. The group III assets classification is for equipment written off or lost, with a total original value of 7,186,800 (equivalent to 49.3 per cent of the total value) and a residual value of 3,412,300.

Since then, many calls for coordination have lamented the outbreak of currency wars, otherwise known as competitive depreciation an old phenomenon that recalls the tit for tat devaluations of the 1930s. Now, as then, the fear is that if all countries try to depreciate their currency to gain export competitiveness and boost their economies, all will fail.

These are reasonable objections, but they should not be allowed to lead to unreasonable conclusions. The alternatives on offer are internal and external devaluation.

But these countries real economies would benefit from a furlough from the eurozone. Depreciation inside the eurozone in the form of deflation, on the other hand, would drive large parts of the real economy into excessive debt, because only the value of assets, not that of bank debts, would decline.

Given these factors, it seems likely that the recent devaluation was driven by a different goal. And, in fact, an announcement made on the same day as the devaluation one that has been largely overshadowed by the panic offers an important indication of what that goal was.

Financial speculation on the part of some countries of the North was causing false monetary devaluations and adversely affecting the terms of trade, to the economic detriment of the countries of the South.
