参考答案:
D
本题详细解析:
D
Explanation:
The currency has appreciated, as one unit of it can now purchase more GBP. This means the currency needs to be devalued in order to maintain the fixed exchange rate.
To devalue its currency, the country must:
- Sell the domestic currency, which increases its supply on foreign exchange markets. This eliminates choices A and B.
- Buy pounds. This causes demand for the pound to increase, causing it to appreciate against the local currency. This eliminates choice C.
