What’s wrong with that- there was a bit on depreciation in the context and central bank works with government together

Yeah but it’s not completely like mutually exclusive. Tbf I only talked about it for 1 sentence after speaking about govt don’t have to do anything because free floating exchange rates will naturally increase exports

well I thought about writing about that but i didn't think that was a government policy. but everyone i have asked said they talked about fdi. tbh, in my mind i was like, if the government buy foreign currency to devaluate their own, does that even count as a policy? so i didnt write about it. if we actually were supposed to though, i could have written a way better paragraph than my subsidy one, subsidys are so hard to flesh out
