Arvind Panagariya aconseja al RBI permitir una mayor debilidad de la rupia

Arvind Panagariya, presidente de la 16.ª Comisión de Finanzas, ha instado al Banco de la Reserva de la India a dejar de defender la rupia de manera agresiva utilizando las reservas de divisas. Describió la barrera psicológica de los 100 rupias por dólar como simplemente un número.

Panagariya señaló que permitir que la moneda se deprecie sería la respuesta correcta ante la presión del aumento de los precios del petróleo. Advirtió que una intervención continua provocaría un agotamiento de las reservas sin lograr un éxito duradero. Este consejo surge en medio de los constantes desafíos cambiarios que enfrenta la India.
