Central bank to check rupee volatility: KC Chakrabarty

07 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Attributing high depreciation in rupee value to rising current account deficit (CAD), the RBI Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty said that the central bank will take necessary steps to check currency volatility. Chakrabarty said that in a high CAD and fiscal deficit scenario, rupee has to depreciate orderly and can’t expect the domestic currency to strengthen. Meanwhile, the central bank will do everything to turn down the volatility, but will not disclose its strategy. The RBI has forex reserves of over USD 290 billion to deal with the situation on the external sector. 

Recently, the rupee hit 57-level lows after 11 months on account of the high CAD, which widened due to rising gold import and high crude oil prices. Further, persistent dollar demand from importers and banks also added to the fall in rupee value. In May, India’s gold imports touched 162 tonnes, while in April, it was around 100-120 tonnes, higher than the average monthly import level of 70-80 tonnes. While, the CAD widened to a record high of 6.7% in the third quarter of FY13.

Further, in a big disappointment to Indian policymakers, the recently released World Gold Council (WGC) report highlighted that India’s gold imports in April-June quarter of 2013 may increase by 200 percent y-o-y to around 300-400 tonnes, which would be almost half the imports of whole of 2012.
