Answer

Agree

Work Step by Step

Lower inflation preserves purchasing power, making the country’s goods more competitive internationally. It also signals economic stability, attracting foreign investment. In contrast, high inflation erodes currency value and deters investment. Therefore I agree to the statement “A country’s currency will appreciate if its inflation rate is less than that of the rest of the world.”
