Arvind Panagariya Advises Against Panic as Rupee Approaches Rs 100 per Dollar

Economist Arvind Panagariya advised against panic if the rupee reaches Rs 100 per dollar, suggesting it could recover as global uncertainties ease. He recommended that the Reserve Bank of India allow the exchange rate to adjust naturally rather than aggressively defending a psychological level, warning such intervention could deplete foreign exchange reserves. Panagariya also supported gradual domestic fuel price adjustments reflecting global crude prices and cautioned against high-interest NRI deposit schemes due to potential long-term economic costs.
