In 1991 , as an immediate measure to resolve the balance of payment crisis, the rupee was devalued against foreign currencies. What was its impact on indian economy at that time?
The devaluation of Indian rupees refers to a fall in the value of rupee against a foreign currency say, a dollar. In other words, after devaluation, a dollar can buy more Indian goods. This had a positive effect in the form of increasing the Indian exports, thereby, increasing the inflow of foreign exchange into the Indian economy. This also helped in solving the problem of acute foreign exchange crises in the country.
