How does money affect your life?
Please tell that the effect of rise and fall in rupee can be seen on the life of common people. This is also being seen in the form of inflation rate in recent times. Weakness in the rupee nullifies the effect of any shortfall in the commodity imported from the international market. Because of this, it takes more time to get the benefit of the fall in crude oil, because the import bill increases due to the weakness in the rupee amid the fall in prices and this keeps the burden on the exchequer.
At the same time, the common man gets the benefit when the prices of commodities fall in the global market and the rupee becomes stronger against the dollar. Common people get relief on the inflation front only when commodity prices fall in the global market and the rupee strengthens.
