    Indian rupee takes a hit on reports of devaluation
  • The Indian rupee plunged on 15th Sep when media channels reported that a possible devaluation of the rupee was in the cards.

    The reports pushed the rupee to slip 0.28 percent to touch 67.0750 against the dollar.

    To curb further decline, India's central bank, the RBI stepped in to prevent a steep fall.

    The floating exchange rate system is managed by the central bank.

  • Reports surfaced today about possible discussions of a rupee devaluation between the commerce and finance ministries next week.

    The reports cited a top government official who stated that the commerce ministry was considering the possible devaluation of the rupee, since it did not feel that the rupee's level reflected the market state.

    This was required to boost exports, the reports said.
