Indian rupee ended significantly higher against dollar on Friday as the American currency eased from its elevated levels. Local currency got support after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India offers policy stability, transparency and consultative process of governance to incubate investment. Further, some support also come in as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said loans worth Rs 20 lakh crore have been disbursed so far under the Centre’s MUDRA scheme to provide self-employment opportunities to the youth, and added that Maharashtra was one of its major beneficiaries. Moreover, some support came with Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Narendra Singh Tomar’s statement that India is moving towards positive changes. He also said ‘the current scenario of India has changed, within the country and at the world level. Today we have the capability of making our nation strong in every respect.’ On the global front, Sterling rose on Friday but was still set for its largest weekly decline in six weeks after losing 2% following the Bank of England's (BoE) biggest interest rate hike in three decades.
Finally, the rupee ended at 82.41 (Provisional), stronger by 47 paisa from its previous close of 82.88 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.85 and 82.35 respectively.
