Deflation refers to dropping prices while inflation
refers to increasing prices.

Thomas, it is inflationary for those countries that are devaluing but deflationary for countries that need to compete with the devaluing countries and import from there. Elementray, DEar Dr. Watson, they now sell to us at a lower price then yesteryears and buy from us at higher prices.

You're mixing cause and effect here. If devalued, their money supply has dropped in $ terms, thus deflationary.
