What happens to you and us?
The impact of rupee depreciation can be seen on common life. This is also being seen in the form of inflation rate in recent times. The weakening of the rupee reduces the effect of any shortage in the imported commodity from the international market. In such a situation, it will take more time to get the benefit of the fall in crude oil because the depreciation of rupee in the midst of fall in prices will increase the import bill and this will continue to burden the exchequer. Right now there is a decline in crude oil in the foreign markets, but due to the weakening of the rupee, the common people are not getting its benefit.
The common man gets the benefit when the commodity prices fall in the world markets and the rupee becomes stronger against the dollar. Common people get relief on the inflation front only when the commodity prices fall in the global market and the rupee strengthens. However, seeing the recent declines, there is no possibility of strengthening the rupee so soon. The rupee has been trading at a lower level against the dollar for several consecutive days.
