We Need A Strong Rupee For The Reserve Currency Status...

Investor Sentiment Will Turn In Favour Of Rupee -Chidambaram

The government and the RBI should aim at increasing demand for Indian-Rupee in the international market which has long-term implications. A stronger rupee will attract more capital inflows. It is an irony that we need to collect US$ for CAD but the long-run foreign investment depend on a strong rupee. We need more dollars which means the demand for dollar already exists therefore it is a strong currency but we need to create demand for Indian Rupee so that we are also in the race of acquiring the status of a reserve-currency. We are the third largest country after US and China in term of GDP but we have no ambitions like that… There should be a balance between the demand for dollars and demand for Indian-Rupee to keep their values/exchange rate right. We see that investors find refuge in a strong economy and currency like the US when the economy recovers. It is a strong economy that has maintained its investment status even after the banking crisis. I think in the long run we are competing with the US…
