Q. In India, the dollar-rupee exchange rate depends upon:
  1. Government Control
  2. Demand-supply balance
  3. RBI’s Monetary policy
Choose the correct options:

Answer: Only 2
Notes:
  1. Government Control: The government or RBI do attempt to intervene at times to curb volatility, but market forces eventually determine the currency devaluation or appreciation.
  2. Demand-Supply balance: The core exchange rate in India is market-determined based on demand and supply dynamics of the US Dollar and Indian Rupee.
  3. RBI's Monetary Policy: While interest rates can incentivize inflows, ultimately the currency rate equilibrium depends largely on foreign exchange demand and local currency liquidity.
