India does not need a devaluation of rupee for now, says Rajeev Malik, senior economist at CLSA. At this point currency devaluation could be a costly affair. It may spook investors and may impact capital flows. The government is considering a proposal for a weaker rupee in an attempt to make it more competitive. According to a Reserve Bank of India report, rupee has been over-valued by 10-12 percent. This may be an attempt to make Indian goods more attractive to foreigners as they would become cheaper. This will boost export compeitiveness. Instead, focus should be on productivity gains and enhancing structural competitveness, says Malik. This will increase export volumes and will help exchange rates.
"If Make in India and ease of doing business initiatives of the government are doing as good as they are reported to be, they should have already led to a boost in exports,"
