INDIAN RUPEE HITS ALL TIME LOW AGAINST USD :
RUPEE DIPS BELOW 83
UPDATE DATED 20.10.2022 : Indian Rupee touched a new low of Rs 83.02 against USD in yesterday's trade . Now it's trading at 83.05
Dated 23.092022 : Indian Rupee once again breached the earlier low and touched an all time historical low of INR 81.24 against 1 USD in yesterday's trading and is trading at INR 80.85 per USD now. US Dollar has been gaining in recent months due to various international issues cropping up like Ukraine war , China Pandemic and Foreign fund outflows . Russian repeated aggression stand on Ukraine has triggered inflation worries . Under the adverse global economic conditions , INR touched its new low .
RBI is having hard time in managing both inflation and foreign exchange rates . To control inflation , RBI enhanced total of 1.40 % interest rate in last three months on various financial instruments including Repo rate and bank rate in the last week . To prevent free fall of Rupee, RBI is intervening in the forex market by selling its foreign reserves . The Forex reserve has come down from USD 570 bn to USD 490 Bn in the year 2022 . Yet INR is sliding again and again to new lows .
In spite of the efforts of RBI , neither inflation is coming back in to the desired band of 4% to 6 % , nor RBI is able to arrest the fall of INR . We have to wait and see what will be the next move of RBI .
The Indian rupee which was at 1 USD @ 3.30 INR in 1947 is losing its value at the green currency over the years . As a developing economy India has to pay higher interest than the developed countries to augment its savings and investments and the interest rate differentials play an important role in exchange rate movement .

As per the survey , India to witness GDP growth of 8.0-8.5 per cent in 2022-23, supported by widespread vaccine coverage, gains from supply-side reforms and easing of regulations, robust export growth, and availability of fiscal space to ramp up capital spending. The growth projection for 2022-23 is based on the assumption that there will be no further debilitating pandemic related economic disruption, monsoon will be normal, withdrawal of global liquidity by major central banks will be broadly orderly, oil prices will be in the range of US$70-$75/bbl, and global supply chain disruptions will steadily ease over the course of the year.
Referring to First Advance Estimates, the Survey states that the Indian economy is estimated to grow by 9.2 per cent in real terms in 2021-22, after a contraction of 7.3 per cent in 2020-21. This implies that overall economic activity has recovered past the pre-pandemic levels. Almost all indicators show that the economic impact of the “second wave” in Q1 was much smaller than that experienced during the full lockdown phase in 2020-21, even though the health impact was more severe.
Other areas covered by the survey :
1. The Survey states that Agriculture and allied sectors have been the least impacted by the pandemic and the sector is expected to grow by 3.9 per cent in 2021-22 after growing by 3.6 per cent in the previous year .
2. The industrial sector went through a sharp rebound from a contraction of 7 per cent in 2020-21 to an expansion of 11.8 per cent in this financial year.
3. The Survey states that the services sector has been the hardest hit by the pandemic, especially segments that involve human contact. This sector is estimated to grow by 8.2 per cent this financial year following last year’s 8.4 per cent contraction.
4. Investment, as measured by Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) is expected to see strong growth of 15 per cent in 2021-22 .
5. On the Exports and Imports front, the Survey states that India’s exports of both goods and services have been exceptionally strong so far in 2021-22. Merchandise exports have been above US$30 billion for eight consecutive months in 2021-22 .
