The curve followed by a country's balance of payments after its currency has been devalued. Initially, the balance of payments will worsen because of the flow of goods already in inventory and transit and contracts signed before the devaluation occurred. But as importers and exporters adjust to the price impact of the devaluation, the country's balance of payments will turn around and begin to improve. There is nothing automatic about this; there may be other factors that militate against the J-curve to some extent, in addition to the time it takes for firms to adjust. 1, record 3, English, - J%20curve

During the 1980s and 1990s a pivotal change has taken place in the world economy : a comprehensive supply-side revolution has affected a major liberalization of the world economy to the extent that even though a large number of markets or segments of the economy remain hampered by rigidities, price increases in those sectors are not allowed to spread and turn into a systemic inflation. Instead, they are absorbed into more efficient market segments. 1, record 4, English, - systemic%20inflation

Durant les années quatre-vingt et quatre-vingt-dix, un changement essentiel s'est produit au sein de l'économie mondiale : un bouleversement considérable des conditions de l'offre a entraîné une vaste libéralisation de l'économie mondiale de sorte que même si des rigidités subsistent sur un grand nombre de marchés ou dans de nombreux compartiments de l'économie, les hausses de prix qui apparaissent dans ces secteurs ne peuvent s'étendre et se transformer en inflation systémique. En fait, elles sont absorbées par des compartiments de marché plus efficaces. 1, record 4, French, - inflation%20syst%C3%A9mique
