Question 39General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following factors most directly explains why the Indian rupee tends to depreciate when global crude oil prices rise sharply?

  1. Higher oil prices raise India's import bill and increase demand for dollars Correct answer.
  2. Higher oil prices reduce India's import bill and increase reserves
  3. Higher oil prices reduce the volume of India's exports of services
  4. Higher oil prices automatically lower domestic interest rates

Explanation

India imports a large share of its crude oil, so a price rise increases the dollar value of imports and hence demand for foreign currency. Stronger dollar demand, with relatively unchanged export earnings, puts downward pressure on the rupee. This is a balance-of-payments channel rather than an interest-rate or services-export channel.
