In the face of a currency war between US and China, global leaders including PM Manmohan Singh on Friday agreed to refrain from "competitive devaluation" and bring in exchange rate flexibility to ensure that no country gets undue advantage.

"We will move towards more market determined exchange rate system and enhance exchange rate flexibility to reflect underlying economic fundamentals and refrain from competitive devaluation of currencies. Advanced economies including those with reserve currencies will be vigilant against excess volatility and disorderly movement in exchange rates," G-20 leaders declared at the end of their two-day Summit here, in the backdrop of the US demanding that Chinese currency Yuan should be appreciated to check the Asian giant from taking advantage in international trade.  So, what will happen if there is currency devaluation??

Excessive volatility in capital inflows

idea posted by Leena Khade Banc Assurance, Deutsche Bank

If there is currency devaluation there is excessive volatility in capital flows facing some emerging market economies. one must at all costs avoid competitive devaluation and resist any resurgence of protectionism. At the end of the two-day Summit of G20 leaders, called for moving towards more market-determined exchange rates. An undervalued Yuan or a weak Dollar also has ramifications for India and several other countries in terms of their exports becoming uncompetitive.

To address the concerns of several emerging economies like India, facing flush of funds in their stock markets, the declaration agrees to strengthen global financial safety nets.It has also asked the advanced economies, including those with reserve currencies, to be "vigilant against excessive volatility and disorderly movements in exchange rates."

I think with imports from china increasing every day, we should consider the net impact of exports and imports.

Add your argument:

There will be a surplus of things

idea posted by Swati Raut Product Manager, Aviva

Please do consider the following analogy so that you will be able to understand what happens if there is currency devaluation.

The equilibrium price of a single car is $10,000. If the government imposes no restrictions on car prices (i.e. car prices are flexible), then the free market price of a car will be $10,000. Further, there will be no surplus or shortage of cars -- everyone who wants to buy a car (at $10,000) will find one to buy, and everyone who wants to sell a car (at $10,000) will find a customer. Now, suppose the government imposes a price floor on cars of $15,000. At the official price of $15,000, many people will want to sell cars, but few people will want to buy cars – there will be a surplus of cars. If the government wants to avoid ending up hip-deep in unsold cars, it will have to buy the extras itself. (Note: this is precisely what the government does in the case of farm subsidies.)

Conference understanding is something and practical steps is something else

One should not be elated by the conference understanding because one will find the very countries in the conference will be violating this to protect their markets/economies.

higher gdp growth rate.

idea posted by manikanta raj Deputy Manager Finance, project financing, leading Financing company
If a country is a export oriented country having more and more exports year by year, the country can take the competitive advantage in the international market by devaluating its currency. For example if india want to buy jet rocket engine. only america and china is manufacturing it. China yaun is 10/- and american $ 48/-engine cost in china is 13000yaun and in america is 5000$. china sells it 1.30 lacs and america 2.40. if china devaluated its currency to 7/- in currency market then it can supply it for 91000/- only. so every customer will turn to china, sale of goods and services increases, gdp grows faster rate, development is at zoom pickup. But it has some limitations: 1. Countries exports are more than imports. 2. Foreign debt is less. 3. comparable commodities. 4. quality of the product is good.
