The rupee has plunged by around 2% in just a week.
Ironically, during the same period, markets saw inflows of up to $2.4 billion.
This brings us to the riddle, why Indian currency devaluates?
There might be many reason but few reasons are stronger
like:-
- Dollar is getting stronger.
- There is a huge gap in the export and import bills, this causes pressure in the current account and affect GDP.
- EURO Zone crisis is back. Investor is not investing in risky assets and selling euros and buying dollars.
- Huge increase in the import bills with the crude oil and gold being imported the most which contributes around 40% in total.
- Indian politics is the doldrums which is also affecting the Indian economy, government is not taking care of the new ways to increase exports by adding new products and services.
- Lack of intervention of central bank to control the fluctuation of money value and stabilize the Indian currency by using their reserves.
- As the credit rating of India deteriorates to BBB resulting in the outflow of money from the country by the foreign investors.
- Slowing down of Asian market also affects the Indian currency.
