An Analysis of the Indian Rupee's Fluctuations: Factors Behind its Depreciation from the 2000s to the Present
Abstract
The Indian Rupee (INR) has experienced significant fluctuations over the past two decades. From a period of gradual appreciation in the 2000s to a sustained depreciation since the mid-2010s, these changes have had profound implications on India's economy. This research paper examines the various factors, both domestic and global, that have influenced the value of the rupee. By analyzing key economic indicators, external pressures, and evolving market conditions, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the causes behind the rupee's performance over time.
