Currency Crises

Currency Crises is a sudden and severe depreciation of a country's currency in the foreign exchange market, typically triggered by speculative attacks or loss of confidence in the currency's peg to a foreign standard, distinguishing it from broader financial crises by its specific focus on exchange rate collapse.
