Exchange rate of rupee to be determined by capital flows: Rangarajan

24 May 2013 Evaluate

Concerned over the record falling of rupee below the 56-level against dollar, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council Chairman C Rangarajan said, the exchange rate of the local currency will be determined by the capital flows. While addressing an event, Rangarajan said ‘the value of rupee depends on the current account deficit (CAD) and the capital flows, but my view is that the capital flows have been adequate so far to cover the CAD’.

By adding further, he said the mismatch between the CAD and the capital flow is putting pressure on the rupee. Over the years as per Rangarajan, exchange rate of the rupee would remain within 52-55 range. Answering a question on whether there is any pressure on the capital flows, he said, Indian economy is still the fastest growing economy in the world and therefore, capital flows will come to India.

Meanwhile, FIIs have pumped in around $13 billion in Indian equities, so far this fiscal. The government is also expected to bring down the CAD to 4-4.5 percent of the GDP in the first quarter of this calendar year.  The country's CAD widened to a record high of 6.7 percent of GDP in third quarter of FY13.
