The rupee weakened to an unprecedented 60 per dollar mark, past the previous all-time low of 58.9850 touched on June 11. Chief Economic Advisor to the Finance Ministry, Raghuram Rajan has said that, the government is ready to take step to curb volatility. He further said that the government is not short of options to tackle the fall of the rupee and will take actions as necessary and the Reserve Bank of India would take action to support the rupee as appropriate.
He said that Current Account Deficit (CAD) was large, but they are on way to tampering it and gold imports are coming off its peak. He added, CAD in June will be better than in May. A huge gold import put pressure on India’s CAD, which in turn affects the value of rupee.
However, he said that, curbs or blanket ban on gold import are harmful because they hurt the economy, so government have to take measured actions rather than knee-jerk reactions.
