Answer: Balance of payment will worsen due to devaluation.

Explanation: The balance of payments refers to the balance of supply and demand for a country's currency in the foreign exchange market. Devaluation will make local currency weaker and foreign currency stronger. Therefore less demand for local currency in the foreign market. The imports will become expensive, more amount of local currency will be paid as it is weaker. The exports will become cheaper, more amount of local currency will be received as foreign currency is stronger than it.

Vise Versa for appreciation.
