Foreign exchange reserves enough to mitigate rupee volatility: Arun Jaitley

16 Aug 2018 Evaluate

A day after the Indian rupee fell to record low of 70-level, Union Minister Arun Jaitley stated that the country has comfortable foreign exchange reserves in order to deal with any undue volatility in the foreign exchange market. He added that the developments in the currency market were being monitored closely to address any situation that might arise in the context of the unsettled international environment.

The Minister also said recent developments relating to Turkey have generated global risk aversion towards emerging market currencies and the strengthening of the dollar. However, he said the country’s macro fundamentals remain resilient and strong. The Indian currency had crashed to a life-time low of 70.09 on concerns over Turkey’s economic woes that have impacted various emerging markets, even as the US dollar gained strength against other currencies.

Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) latest data showed that its foreign exchange reserves were at $402.70 billion in the week ended August 3, down $1.49 billion over the preceding week. RBI’s stated position is that it does not seek to target a particular level for the rupee's exchange rate against the dollar and uses its reserves to ease volatility in the currency market.  Besides, in the FY19, the rupee has depreciated by around 6.7% against the US dollar.
