Experts Discuss India's Currency Hedging and Global Shift to Higher Interest Rates
Neelkanth Mishra of the World Bank highlighted that India's Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) scheme has extended short-term currency hedges, providing about one to two years to manage external volatility amid rising global oil prices. Elevated energy costs could significantly impact India's external balance. Separately, French economist Jean-Pierre Landau noted that the era of low interest rates is ending due to declining global savings, increased investment needs, and high public debt, suggesting structurally higher real interest rates ahead worldwide.
