“In the short term the RBI needs to allow the currency to depreciate , a depreciating currency will make exports look cheaper to the world and the world will buy more of indian goods thereby stabilising the rupee ” says Pranjul Bhandari of HSBC. @pranjulb @HSBC Full episode out now on The Money Mindset ✨

Last week I spoke to @pranjulb of @HSBC about the impending petrol price hike and what needs to be done to save the falling rupee. Full chat out now on The Money Mindset. She says pump prices need to become expensive for oil imports to fall which will eventually shrink trade deficit and help the currency. It’s a bitter pill but it has to be swallowed. Despite the price hikes, she says India is one of the countries with the least increase in oil prices around the world. This episode was shot on 19th May .

The Reliance earnings were an early read into the real world impact of the Iran war on India. "Never have we ​seen this kind of shortage in the market," a top company official said on their earnings call. The pain for the government OMCs will be worse. A small part of the pressure can be reduced if the government hikes retail prices of petrol and diesel - an economically sound decision. This week's India File: reuters.com/world/india/in…
