RBI will intervene as and when required to check rupee volatility: Ahluwalia

21 Jun 2013 Evaluate

With the rupee falling to a record low level and no steps from the government to curb volatility, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has enough ‘fire power’ to deal with the rupee volatility and will intervene in the forex market as and when required.

By adding further he said the government policy is that they are not fixing an exchange rate. It has aligned the exchange rate to move with the market and RBI intervenes when it feels there is too much speculative pressure. Terming this as ‘temporary phenomenon’ he said, ‘you are seeing the behaviour of all emerging market countries against a great deal of global uncertainty triggered as it happens in this case because of statements made by the Federal Reserve.’

Following the Fed’s statement, the greenback strengthened against major currencies. Indian rupee resumed its depreciating streak at 59.50 per dollar on June 20 against the previous all-time low of 58.9850 touched on June 11 and dropped further to an all-time low of 60.00 per dollar. Though, it later recovered ground.

However, the weakening of rupee along with trade deficit  numbers for the month of May widening to $20.1 billion from $17.8 billion a month ago, will certainly add pressure on the CAD, which has already touched a record high of 6.7% of GDP.
