Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Thursday, on persistent selling of the American currency by exporters. Sentiments remained positive as Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Som Parkash said that the reforms taken by Government have resulted in increased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in the country. FDI inflows in India stood at $45.15 billion in 2014-2015 and have continuously increased since then, and India registered its highest ever annual FDI inflow of $84.84 billion (provisional figures) in the financial year 2021-22. Besides, Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs Chairman Vivek Johri has expressed hope that robust Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections will help achieve the FY23 revenue growth target on the indirect taxes front, despite the impact of duty cuts on central excise and customs mop-up. On the global front, dollar edged up on Thursday, supported by a push higher in U.S. Treasury yields, as investors weighed the outlook for Federal Reserve policy against the chances that high interest rates could lead to a recession.
Finally, the rupee ended at 82.44 (Provisional), stronger by 3 paise from its previous close of 82.47 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.47 and 82.26 respectively.
