Devaluation of the Chinese Yuan

Devaluation of the Chinese Yuan occurs when the government intentionally lowers the currency's value relative to other currencies. This strategy can make Chinese exports cheaper and more competitive internationally, potentially boosting exports and economic growth. However, it may also lead to higher import costs, inflation, or increased inflation expectations. Countries may devalue their currency to recover from economic difficulties or to gain a trade advantage, but it can also cause currency instability and impact global markets. Essentially, devaluation is a deliberate move to influence economic conditions through changing the currency’s relative worth.
