About this work
Large emerging market currency depreciations predated the pandemic and remained substantial after adjusting for inflation. This October 2020 survey examines how export and import volumes responded ahead of an update to currency fair values. Brazil and Russia showed the most favorable net export developments, while Egypt and Turkey presented a weaker picture.
