BRICS: India Dumps Billions of US Dollars
BRICS member India has once again been accused of dumping US dollars to protect its local currency, the rupee (INR). The INR had plummeted to a lifetime low of 87.60 against the USD on Monday in the forex markets. The steep fall sent jitters in the markets making the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervene in the forex sector. India has been accused of intervention in the currency markets to keep the rupee from falling further.
