I think it's fair to keep using debasement for the act of letting your currency go down against other currencies on the FX market.

> "inflation" or "monetary expansion".

This is my second pet peeve on the topic, inflation and growth of the money supply are independent phenomenons. (they are only correlated in countries with high inflation regimes and, hyperinflation aside, the causation is essentially reversed: the money supply grow because of the inflation, higher price leading to an increase of loans).
