  • Currently, there are fears of recession in major economies like the United State and Europe.
  • This has resulted in the rapid withdrawal of investments and foreign funds outflow in India.
  • Geopolitical crisis caused by the Ukraine war, inflation and monetary policy tightening are weakening the rupee against the US dollar.
  • Currently the USD is at a 22-year high and the Indian Rupee has hit an all-time low of 81.6 against the dollar.
