Abstract

The study mainly studies the impact of the financial crisis on the fluctuations of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar and the Indian Stock Market. The investigation has been done on the Foreign Institutional Investment, Interest Rate, Consumer Price Index and the Trade Balance of the country during the time period of 2000-2014. The paper divides its research data into three segments which are Segment 1 for the time period 2000-2004, Segment 2 for the time period of 2005-2009 and Segment 3 for the time period of 2010-2014. In the paper, the methodology adopted was OLS regression modelling with the dependent variable being the exchange rate and the four measures mentioned above were the independent variables. Using the data we found that Trade Balance was highly significant to the Exchange rate while the other variables were insignificant before and after the crisis. The Interest Rate and Consumer Price Index didn’t have any relationship with the Exchange Rate during the financial crisis. Finally the paper talks about the depreciation of the Rupee in 2013 which is the future area of research, the Foreign Investment in India declined considerably in the aftermath of the crisis creating a gradual decline in the Rupee in the later years of the Crisis.
