Indias foreign exchange reserves (excluding gold) are currently only enough to support 8.7 months of import demand, the lowest level in three years.

Yes Banks chief economist, Indrani Pan, stated that the more the RBI intervenes, the less firepower it has left, and this could trigger further problems if the ongoing crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate. For the external sector, the only shock absorber is the exchange rate itself. The RBI does need to show greater flexibility in allowing the rupee to depreciate. ANZs foreign exchange strategist, Diraj Niem, said that if fundamentals have permanently changed, maintaining the rupee at a certain level could quickly become very difficult. The RBI can allow the rupee to adjust further before foreign exchange reserve levels become an issue.The final figures for the Eurozones February CPI year-on-year and month-on-month rates will be released in ten minutes.
