- A.
It makes monetary management difficult for RBI
- B.
It creates money supply, asset bubbles and inflation
- C.
It weakens the competitiveness of Indian exports
Correct Answer
B. It creates money supply, asset bubbles and inflationExplanation
A large inflow of foreign exchange into the country can lead to an increase in the money supply, which in turn can create asset bubbles and inflation. When there is a surplus of foreign currency, the central bank may intervene by purchasing it, thereby increasing the domestic money supply. This excess liquidity can lead to an increase in demand for assets such as stocks and real estate, causing their prices to rise rapidly and potentially creating asset bubbles. Additionally, the increase in money supply can also lead to inflationary pressures in the economy, as there is more money chasing the same amount of goods and services.Rate this question:
