RBI Intervenes to Stabilize Rupee Amid Investor Outflows and Fiscal Challenges
India's rupee has depreciated significantly against the US dollar, influenced by foreign portfolio investor withdrawals and external pressures like crude oil prices. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has actively intervened through currency sales, regulatory measures, and swap facilities to stabilize the rupee and curb excessive forex market volatility. Meanwhile, India's high interest burden relative to government revenues complicates the RBI's monetary tightening efforts, affecting fiscal stability and borrowing costs amid ongoing economic challenges.
