SBI Report Calls for Structural Measures to Manage Rupee Depreciation and Inflation Risks

A State Bank of India report highlights the need for structural policy measures to address rupee depreciation, imported inflation, and a widening balance of payments deficit. The rupee has depreciated over 6% since April 2025, with further pressure from foreign capital outflows and geopolitical tensions. The report emphasizes anchoring inflation expectations and managing exchange rate volatility through flexible, credible monetary policy amid ongoing global uncertainties, including the US-Iran conflict.
