| | The more the peso declines in value compared to foreign currencies, such as the US dollar, the German mark and the British pound, the more sales value (in peso) are gained by those who sell their goods to these countries. | | | But even exporters lose when the peso depreciates if their export products are dependent on imported materials. | | | The ease with which lending was carried out in those decades contributed to the debt burden of many Third World countries, including the Philippines, at the end of the century and the loss of their current purchasing power. |
