Currency War The Reasons and Repercussions

Abstract	The term "currency war" refers to a situation in which countries devalue their currencies competitively, mainly to increase their export competitiveness. This tactic seeks to lower the price of a nation's goods on the international market in order to increase exports and spur economic growth at home. Resolving trade imbalances, controlling national debt, or pursuing a competitive advantage in global commerce are common motivations. But such acts might set off a series of counterattack devaluations, which can have serious consequences. These include heightened trade volatility, financial market instability, and inflationary pressures brought on by rising import prices. Furthermore, because countries perceive one another's acts as aggressive economic manoeuvres, currency wars can intensify geopolitical tensions. Cooperation between nations is necessary to address these problems. Strengthening global frameworks, like those offered by the IMF, is one way to prevent competitive devaluation and encourage exchange rate stability. To reduce the dangers and unfavourable effects of currency wars, major economies must coordinate their monetary policies, prioritise sustainable economic growth, and uphold fair trade principles.
