Rbi
The role of the Indian Reserve Bank (RBI) is in its own words “.. to maintain price stability, in view of the purpose of growth.” This involves maintaining the inflation rate in a stable 4%, using mainly interest rates tool. RBI also maintains a exchange rate at a level that does not cause excessive volatility and problems of exporters and importers, as the Indian economy strongly depends on foreign trade, especially petroleum.
RBI officially meets at six two -month meetings a year to discuss his monetary policy and, if necessary, to regulate interest rates. If inflation is too high (above this 4% target), RBI usually raises interest rates to prevent borrowing and expenditure that supports rupees (INR). If inflation falls too far from the target, RBI can reduce speeds to encourage more loans, which may be negative for INR.
Due to the importance of economic trade, the Indian Reserve Bank (RBI) is actively interfering with FX markets to maintain the exchange rate within a limited range. This does this to ensure that Indian importers and exporters do not come into contact with unnecessary pain bone risk during FX volatility periods. RBI buys and sells rupees at the key level in the spot market and uses derivatives to hedge its positions.
