Economists forecast limited rupee gains through 2026

A poll of economists shows the Indian rupee is expected to see only modest strengthening in the near term before weakening again by year-end.

The Indian rupee is projected for a slight recovery in coming months.

Economists anticipate the rupee will rise just above 94 to the dollar. It is then expected to weaken to below 95 by year-end.

This outlook contrasts with earlier predictions of significant strengthening. Persistent dollar demand and global risks will likely limit gains.
