it's not "simple" the way you simplify it.

If you run a business and if due to inflation it costs you 1000 more to make one unit of your product, when you increase your unitary price by 300 you have shifted 30% of the impact of the inflation you suffered to your clients, IOW you could say that "le degré de transmission de la dévaluation" is this case would be 30%.

You got hit with a 1000 increase in your own costs, but you hit your clients with only 300 in increase of your prices. (300/1000 = 30%)

Everyone tries to keep shifting the burden of the inflation suffered until all of it is passed further down the chain (i.e. until "le degré de transmission de la dévaluation" gets to 100%) thus this idea of "rattrapage".

In all this the rate of inflation (which shows how much of the buying power of the currency was lost / "devaluated") could just be anything - 1% or 10.000% - it's a different indicator.

Closer to home: due to inflation to deliver 10.000 words costs you 10 euros more, but you increased your price for 10.000 words by only 3 euros. Then you've managed to get "un degré de transmission de la dévaluation" of 30%.

Et si cela signifiait tout simplement : A ce jour, la dévaluation s'élève à 30% ?
Il est prévu qu'elle atteigne 50% ...

This could mean that only 30% of the devaluation has fed through from the official dollar exchange rate to the parallel market, ie the unofficial rate on the street. But I think this may be unclear writing that even a native speaker would struggle to understand.
