Rupee Volatility, FPI Slowdown, and Net FDI Trends Amid Global Uncertainties in India
India's rupee has experienced volatility amid global factors like rising crude prices and geopolitical tensions, with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) describing it as undervalued based on nominal and real effective exchange rates. Foreign portfolio investment inflows into government securities declined sharply in July due to these uncertainties and delayed index inclusion. Meanwhile, net foreign direct investment (FDI) fell recently due to increased repatriation and overseas investments, though gross FDI reached record highs. The RBI continues to manage exchange rate volatility without targeting specific levels.
