Answer to Question 1

A depreciation of a currency takes place due to the mechanics of supply and demand and belongs to a flexible or floating exchange rate system. On the other hand, devaluation is due to the intervention by the monetary authority of a central bank of a country following a fixed exchange rate system. They both result in a lower value of the currency.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
