  1. Devaluation of currency leads to
    1. expansion of export trade
    2. contraction of import trade
    3. expansion of import substitution
    4. All of the above
Correct Option: D

Devaluation in modern monetary policy is a reduction in the value of a currency with respect to those goods, services or other monetary units with which that currency can be exchanged. There are two implications for currency devaluation. First, devaluation makes a country’s exports relatively less expensive for foreigners and second, it makes foreign products relatively more expensive for domestic consumers, discouraging imports. As a result, this may help to reduce a country’s trade deficit. Import substitution means promotion of export to replace imports. It is also fallout of devaluation.
