DEVALUATION: The act of reducing the price (exchange rate) of one nation's currency in terms of other currencies. This is usually done by a government to lower the price of the country's exports and raise the price of foreign imports, which ultimately results in greater domestic production.

A government devalues its currency by actively selling it and buying foreign currencies through the foreign exchange market.
