Rupee Value: How…Why..

And
Where?
The value of our Rupee has undergone
downturn since the end of 2014 and thus is in
doldrums of late..!
Such shifts occurred in 2011 and 2013 too…

Here we have the questions - of


How? this value or exchange value is
determined + Why does those exchange
values undergo shifts + What are
problems with these changes in the value
of a currency ..?
Bretton Woods…USA.. 1944..!
44 countries attended
Dollar as reserve currency.. (reason)

Linked to Gold (called as Gold Standard)


1 ounce of Gold (28.350 Grams)
= $ 35
Why Gold link?
Age of ‘Pegged Currencies’
Later market and global developments…
internationally..!!!
1)International Trade increased many fold,
2)Gold prices rose in the open markets,
3) US Developments( Vietnam war …welfare
expense etc.)
Then GOLD-DOLLAR link could not be
sustained!!!
Nixon Shock : 1971
Dollar Becomes Floating currency
( No gold support)
How could Dollar Retain its
supremacy?

Link up with UAE and


Linking up of the Dollar and oil
payments..!!!
Petro Dollars…
Our Rupees Journey …vis a vis
Dollar..!!!
Till 1966 in the Sterling Area ..de facto.. Though de
jure in dollar link..

As our trade mostly is with these countries!!

Later things changed .. Trade shifted +


other factors.. To follow..
1) 1950’s-60’s industrialization,
2) 1962 & 1965 wars,
3) 1965-66 Draught..Inflation ..etc
+ Trade imbalance (CAD)
rupee devalued by about 57.4%.
As we went for foreign aid ..we have to
liberalize our economy !!
Later again devalued in 1991 by 59%
+
in 1992 rupee made partially convertible..!
40% + 60%
i.e 40% = to RBI of for Govt expenses at
a fixed rate.
60% could be converted freely at
market value..!!
Contd..
Thus Rupee Linked to market and
Demand and supply factors..
Let us check the declines of rupee
in 2011 & 2013 & 2015 in the
light of this market factor..!
-Explanation + How Rupee was
stable during 2000-2007..
Rupee like all currencies is linked to
the (Fundamental) macro economy.
2014-2015 decline of the Rupee..!

1) Crash in commodity prices:


As a result while currencies of commodity
producers declined sharply-because of their
trade imbalance
*
Indian Rupee benefitted through this crash of
commodity prices..
Thus forcing RBI to buy dollars: to keep in check
the rise in Rupee…
E.M currency’s movement ever since June
2014

Rupee lost 8.6%..!


Where as Brazil’s Real -39%
Malaysian Ringitt -21.8%
S.African Rand -20%
Thus affecting our exports and trade
balance..!
Reason 2: contd..
2) YUAN devaluation by China
(it lost 2.1% only-blown out of proportion)
Brazil’s Real ..S.African Rand & Malaysian
Ringitt lost between :
4-8%
Rupee lost only about 1.3%
This however is not the Norm for the
Rupee..
Contd…
E.M currencies movement ever since March 2009
market lows or bears:
Rupee then is the worst performer:
Rupee lost 20%
Rouble lost -41%..
Real lost -34%
Chinese Yuan Gained 8% ( Ever since its lows of
2009)

Similarly in Aug 2011 & 2013 too :


Rupee lost as much as the E.M currencies of
BRICS…! Excepting YUAN
WHILE THE PRESENT RUPEE’S
STRENGTH IS WELCOME…ITS
SUSTAINABLIY IS
QUESTIONABLE
The present State of the Rupee..!

Future prospects.!!

How it could be strengthened!!!
