Answer 2

The value of the Francs will increase/further strengthened compared to the Deutschmarks

Step-by-step explanation:

Germany owed france billions of dollars after world war.Usually if a country asked another country to print more money in its own currency, the prices at the exchange market will rise leading to inflation. France wants the value of the Francs to increase compared to the the Deutschmarks. The Germans will require more resources to print the Francs and so limits the cost of material of printing the debt payed by Germany.
