Jesus Christ...........
Devaluation
A decrease in the spot price of a currency. Often initiated by a government announcement.
. Devaluation is a deliberate decision by a government or central bank to reduce the value of its own currency in relation to the currencies of other countries.
Governments often opt for devaluation when there is a large current account deficit, which may occur when a country is importing far more than it is exporting.
When a nation devalues its currency, the goods it imports and the overseas debts it must repay become more expensive. But its exports become less expensive for overseas buyers. These competitive prices often stimulate higher sales and help to reduce the deficit.
Deflation
Decline in the prices of goods and services. Antithesis of inflation.
Declining prices, if they persist, generally create a vicious negative spiral of falling profits, closing factories, shrinking employment and incomes, and increasing defaults on loans by companies and individuals. To counter deflation, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) can use monetary policy to increase the money supply and deliberately induce higher prices and inflation. Rising prices provide an essential lubricant for a sustained recovery because businesses increase profits and take some of the depressive pressures off wages and debtors of every kind.
Inflation
The rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising.
Inflation
The reduction in the purchasing power of a currency. Inflation has historically occurred when a country prints too much of its currency in too short a period of time. Central banks attempt to control inflation by raising interest rateswhen necessary, which decreases the amount of money in circulation. Inflation is inevitable whenever wealth is created, but central banks attempt to keep it between 2% and 3% whenever possible.
All of these definitions and explanations have one thing common as relates to my statements "The Fed".
