  • 'An Internationalised Rupee?'
    First Draft Speech for DG (SG) – March 6, 2006 ‘An Internationalised Rupee?’ I. Concept of Currency Internationalisation A currency can be termed ‘international’ if it is widely accepted across the world as a medium of exchange. Broadly, internationalisation of currency is characterized by the following: (a) payments for international transactions can be made in that currency; (b) both residents and non-residents can hold financial assets/liabilities denominated in that currency; and (c) freedom for non-residents to hold tradable currency balances, even beyond the territory of the issuing country. It is an indicator of the confidence that the external economy has in the economy of the issuing country, as it integrates with the global economy. Limited or full use of an ‘internationalised’ currency as legal tender in certain other countries is a possibility. Further, limited internationalisation within a geographical region is also possible. For example, the South African rand (ZAR) has the attributes and characteristics of an ‘international currency’ in the neighboring countries viz., Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho. However, internationalisation of a currency does not necessarily require removal of all capital controls and it is consistent with a regime characterised by less than full capital mobility. The main economic factors underpinning internationalisation of currency are: (a) domestic stability which makes the currency attractive as a store of value; (b) a well-developed financial system with deep and liquid markets offering participants a wide range of services and products in terms of borrowing, investing and hedging; and (c) the bigger size of the economy as compared to the world output, financial markets and its significant role in trade, leads the outside world to increase the demand for internationalised currency for transaction purposes, and also to consider the use of such currency when making portfolio decisions.

  • The Rupee Crunch and India-Bhutan Economic Engagement 2
    IDSA Issue Brief IDSIDSAA ISSUEISSUE BRIEFBRIEF1 The Rupee Crunch and India- Bhutan Economic Engagement* Medha Bisht Dr Medha Bisht is Associate Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi July 16, 2012 Summary The rupee-crunch in Bhutan may be a purely domestic issue occasioned by poor fiscal policies and mismanagement of economic affairs. However, there is a strong view gaining ground among the Bhutanese that it is primarily caused by their economic dependence on India, sustained by growing economic ties between the two countries. It is, therefore, important to understand the geographical constraints, the limits of the political economy in Bhutan, and the causes of growing Bhutanese disillusionment about ties with India. While it would be an overstatement to say that such crises could significantly impact India-Bhutan relations, it nevertheless shows that the rupee crunch is an important pointer to the fact that Bhutan's business sector is feeling squeezed by some of the economic policies being pursued by the Indian government. While loans, grants and lines of credit offer a solution to deal with immediate crises, it is important to gauge the long-term impact of such Indian policies on bilateral relations. * The author undertook a field visit to Thimpu, Bhutan in May 2012 and interacted with a cross section of analysts and academics. The author thanks the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses for providing financial support to undertake the visit as well as the various individuals in Bhutan who graciously met with her and willingly shared their ideas and opinions.
