In Latinamerica, for example we find two very different economies where the level of devaluation is very different and this answers to different causes.
Argentina and Brazil are the strongest economies of South America. Argentina after the terrible crisis of 2001 decided to devaluate the peso to generate a major supply of foreign currencies in its frontiers to incentivate the exports.
The case of Brazil is very different to the one of Argentina as this has an important industry and did not have such a crisis in these last years, that’s why its currency is not devaluated according to the dollar. The Brasilian real quotes actually at 1,83 reales per dollar, while the argentine currency is at 3,20 pesos per dollar.
To sum up, the exchange rate that a country has is to generate or not a major supply of foreign currencies, this decision will show the direction in which the economic model is going.
