Readers now a days everyone is talking about the weakening
of our Indian Rupee. What does it mean ? what are the outcomes of this fall?
In last month i.e August last,we saw devaluation of the
Indian rupee over USD $.Last week itself the rupee reach a
new fall of Rs70 for 1$.
A lot of currencies
are there in the world. Generally all the country having their own unique
currency ,except European Union. The exchange rate of are also different to
each other. For ex- now the value of 1 USD is Rs 67,means we have to pay Rs67
to buy a American $.A few months ago it
was around Rs54 for a US $.Also if we go past year we can see the value of 1$
was equal to Rs40.This happens because our economy was at boom in last year as
compare with this year.
The outcomes of this problem is that the cost of all the
imported things get increased,because in foreign trade ,countries use USD as
medium of transactions.now all the goods i.e imported becomes most costlier.Let
us say,for ex- if you want to buy an Apple iphone from America(the cost of that
iphone is 900$) then you have to pay 67*900=Rs60300 for the iphone. Let you
compare this situation in last year then you have to pay 40*900=Rs36000, we can
notice a large difference in cost in
those years.
Also people are thinking, how does this change in Indian
Rupee affect our life?
=>The answer of this question is very clear because we
know that India imports a huge amount of petroleum from the gulf countries (and
also we have to know that in foreign trade the goods are valued in USD and
payments are also transact in USD) then the devaluation of Rupee impact as the
more expensive of goods. Recently in last week petroleum companies increases
the rates of petrol and diesel.
The increase in the cost of petroleum oil causes the
increase in cost everywhere in all fields. For example increase in diesel costs
increases the transportation charges. Also the transportation of goods from one
place to other place get costlier, then automatically everything costs more.
Thus we can say that the devaluation or weakening of ₹ impacts as the
increase in cost everywhere.
