Whether GOI is keeping Dollars as reserve fund with Central Bank of America? Its implications on Rupee value? RBI is keeping Gold as reserves for printing Indian currency. If India is keeping its surplus foreign currency in $ with USA then it is loosing its capital due to depreciation in value of $ vis-a-vis Rupee? Is India facing this situation? Why cann't India invest in purchase of other currencies which have a trend of appreciation in value? Raising CRR or reducing rate of interest on savings is not the right solution as it would result in financial crunch. and dishearten the domestic trade. Why cann't India use surplus foreign exchange to develop or procure items of Infrastructural support? Even if there is deficit financing or fiscial dificit, how is it adverse to our economic interest. USA is consistently using this method in its national economy. With Rupee going strong, why India is accelerating its policy of attaching no controls over valuation of currency when China is deliberately controling Yuan at under-rated value to serve its export policy and is trade surplus state.

India, China to escape economic downturn: German economist? (The Hindu, Aug 10, 2006) India and China will escape the downturn that other countries in the world are expected to face, with Asian countries expected to grow by at least seven per cent and nine per cent respectively during the current fiscal, Deutsche Bank Chief Economist Norbert Walter said on Wednesday. Delivering a lecture on "World Economy--Longest Ever Recovery About to End?", Walter said he sympathises with the concerns expressed by the Reserve Bank over inflationary expectations in its quarterly review of the monetary policy. RBI had hiked interest rates, at which banks park their short term funds with the central bank and vice versa by 0.25 per cent each, leading to increase in interest rates by some banks. To make up for the slowing down of investment that certain interest rate sensitive areas may witness, India should facilitate pumping of funds in other areas, he suggested. source:http://www.zoomchina.com.cn/index.php?/content/view/11020/1/
