Dollar vs Rupee: Rupee will bow before the dollar, what will be the effect of this weakness on the country, who will be in profit?

The depreciation of the Indian rupee continues due to the strengthening of the dollar. In the early trade on Monday, the rupee fell by nearly 40 points to 81.55 in the rupee. On the other hand, the US dollar has reached its highest level in 20 years. After the fall in the Indian rupee, market experts predict that the Reserve Bank may decide to sell the dollar to stop the fall in the currency.

What will be the effect of rupee depreciation on the market?

The weakening of the rupee will have the most adverse effect on the country's import bill. As the rupee is depreciating, the country's import bill is increasing. Now traders will have to spend more money to import than before. Companies dependent on imports will have lower margins. It will be recovered by increasing the value. This will further increase the already existing inflation. Due to this, petroleum products, traveling abroad, and consuming foreign services will become expensive. The depreciation of the rupee also hurts the foreign exchange reserves. This will empty the treasury of the country. This is not right from the point of view of the economic condition of the country.
