ANZ Bank forecasts the Indian rupee will appreciate into year-end on robust portfolio and direct investment inflows. It expects the currency could weaken in 2022 as a wider trade deficit from stronger import growth offsets that appreciation.
The bank adds that the RBI may allow a weaker rupee to support export competitiveness.
A forecast of rupee strength into year-end lowers the expected rupee cost of imported feed inputs in the near term. The outlook for 2022 is more mixed, so buyers should not assume a lasting currency benefit.
