Abstract

The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of currency overvaluation or undervaluation, depending on a country's circumstances. It is said that governments intentionally keep the currency undervalued in other cases to encourage export sales. A currency's value can appreciate or devalue against other currencies in several ways such as market sentiment. Advantages of undervaluation from China's point of view are outlined.
