Abstract
Since early May 2013, there has been a significant fall in the value of
the Rupee vis-a-vis the Dollar leading to a historic low at 67 rupees per
dollar a few days back. US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's statement
appears to have caused a free fall in the value of the rupee, or so the RBI
would have us believe. But the Indian Rupee has been falling in value
quite consistently since August 2011. What are the factors behind this free
fall? Are they domestic or are they international? Could it have been
controlled? Can it at least now be controlled? These are a few questions that
this talk would attempt to discuss.
