Question:

What does devaluation of a currency against a foreign currency result in?

Options:

Increase in the inflow of foreign exchange

Increase in imports of the country

Decrease in the exports of the country.

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Increase in the inflow of foreign exchange

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: Increase in the inflow of foreign exchange

Devaluation of a currency means that now the imports would be expensive and exports would be cheaper. Thus, resulting in increased exports of the country and improving the overall position of balance of payment. When exports increase, flow of foreign exchange increase simultaneously. Thus, option 1 stands to be correct.
