About this episode

The episode discusses the recent measures taken by the RBI to address the rupee's depreciation and their potential impact on foreign capital inflows.

The rupee has been on a sharp slide, moving from 90 to nearly 97 in just a few months. On Friday, the RBI stepped in with two major measures a concessional FCNR deposit window for NRIs and a subsidised swap facility for ECB borrowings by PSUs effectively absorbing the hedging costs to pull in foreign capital. But how much of a difference will it make, and for how long? Host Rozebud Gonsalves speaks with Sakshi Gupta, Principal Economist at HDFC Bank, on the rupee's initial reaction, expected capital inflows and the forward book.
