RBI Sees Potential for Rupee Stabilization and Appreciation Amid Balance of Payments Challenges
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta stated that the Indian rupee's 13.1% depreciation over the past 18 months is likely temporary. She highlighted India's underlying economic strengths, including a shrinking current account deficit, growing merchandise exports, and reduced oil import dependence, which support potential rupee stabilization and appreciation. The RBI remains committed to maintaining orderly foreign exchange markets, backed by sufficient reserves. Meanwhile, Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran noted that balance of payments pressures persist despite recent forex inflows providing near-term relief.
