History of the Indian Rupee (from the 1980's to 2020)

The History of the Indian Rupee from the 1980's to 2020.

This graph is relative with the other major world currencies with "yellow" indicator lines for major (historical start date) problems in the History of the Indian Currency going back to the 1980's.

The Indian Rupee is has a market-determined exchange rate. However, the RBI trades actively in the USD/INR currency market to impact effective exchange rates. Thus, the currency regime in place for the Indian rupee with respect to the US dollar is a de facto controlled exchange rate. This is sometimes called a "managed float". Other rates (such as the EUR/INR and INR/JPY) have the volatility typical of floating exchange rates, and often create persistent arbitrage opportunities against the RBI (if the USD is not stable)
