The US dollar is the reserve currencyin the international market.

Because of the global meltdown theretheir will be less demand for goods inthe international market.And henceexport will fall . For a developingcountry like india it is not a good sign.

And hence dollar depreciation is aimportant fctor that which will affectthe countries export.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ppt-gupte-sir 34/57

When the dollar gets depreciated the other major currencies will get appreciated.Indian rupee will also appreciate assumingthat the domestic market is stable.

If the rupee gets appreciated then we mayhave to face the problem in export.

Since US is one of the major importer of our goods(17%). The fall in US dollar willlead to less demand for our goods.
