Rupee crashes past 72: Currency mayhem signals a deeper problem; India must think long-term, find solutions within

Firstpost  

Editor’s note: The Indian rupee has crashed past the 72-mark against US dollar and continues to be on a roller coaster ride. Does rupee at 72 rings alarm bells to the Indian economy or is there an opportunity in the currency crisis as Narendra Modi government claims? A recent International Monetary Fund analysis even suggested that a significant currency depreciation to the tune of at least 13 percent by the advanced economies or 20 percent by the emerging economies can drive export volumes up by 10 percent over five years. Second, as currency depreciation is not unique to India, the country’s domestic exports might not be as attractive in the global markets. Only then will periodic blips in currency become a non-issue..
