Question 3 of 5
3. Question
The sustained decline of the U.S. dollar in global currency markets is likely to have which of the following effects on India’s trade?
- India’s exports to the United States may become less competitive.
- Imports of crude oil and other dollar-denominated commodities may become cheaper for India.
- The trade deficit of India is likely to worsen solely due to the falling dollar.
- India’s remittance inflows from the U.S. may increase in rupee terms.
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: B. 1, 2 and 4 only
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: A weaker dollar means U.S. importers need to spend more dollars to buy the same amount of Indian goods priced in rupees or other currencies, making Indian exports less competitive in the U.S. market.
- Statement 2 is correct: Since most commodities like crude oil are priced in dollars, a decline in the dollar value makes them cheaper for India when paid in rupees, reducing import bills.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: While trade dynamics may shift, a weaker dollar does not automatically worsen India’s trade deficit. The impact depends on volume of exports/imports, price elasticity, and global demand, not just currency movement.
Statement 4 is correct: Remittances from the U.S., when converted into rupees, may yield less value if the dollar weakens, but if the volume increases or senders hedge better, rupee inflows may still increase in nominal terms depending on the remittance strategy.
