Nominal Depreciation of a Currency
A nominal depreciation refers to the weakening of a country's currency in relation to a foreign currency. This event corresponds to an increase in the nominal exchange rate, meaning that more units of the home currency are needed to buy one unit of the foreign currency. As a result, the home currency's value diminishes, and it can purchase fewer goods and services priced in the foreign currency.
