Des pays comme ceux de l'ancienne Union soviétique, qui font du commerce pour se procurer des devises, feront le nécessaire pour s'adapter aux cours du marché, y compris en tirant parti des dévaluations pour faire baisser davantage encore leurs prix.
Economies such as the former Soviet Union would have foreign currency objectives in their trade, and would consequently respond to any changes in the market by buying the market any way they needed to, including taking advantage of devaluations to lower their prices even further.
