What will be the effect of an expensive dollar

 

India will have to bear the big brunt of the costly dollar. Government oil companies (Oil Marketing Companies) buy crude oil by paying in dollars. If the dollar becomes expensive against the rupee and the rupee depreciates, then state-owned oil companies will have to pay more dollars to buy crude. This will make imports expensive and common consumers will have to pay higher prices for petrol and diesel.

 

 

Lakhs of children from India are studying abroad, whose parents send from fees to living expenses. Their studies abroad will become expensive. Because parents will have to buy dollars by paying more money so that they can pay the fees. Parents will have to bear the brunt of the expensive dollar.

 

Edible oil is already expensive, which is being met by imports. If the dollar becomes expensive, importing edible oil will be even more expensive. To import edible oil, more foreign exchange will have to be spent. Due to this common people will have to pay more price for palm oil than for other edible oil.

 

From consumer durables to automobile companies, many of their parts are imported from abroad. The prices of these things may increase.
