You&#x27;re missing the point. Every country would like to have a weak currency in order to boost exports. However every country can&#x27;t have a weak currency simultaneously; it&#x27;s mathematically impossible. If the USD weakens then other countries will respond by weakening their currencies in a race to the bottom.<p>We will be better off in the long run by not playing that game. Keeping the currency fairly stable helps to encourage long-term economic growth by allowing businesses and consumers to plan ahead. That&#x27;s better than chasing a quick and unsustainable boost in exports through devaluation.
