All Eyes On The RBI Governor

.....What actually surprised me was his comment that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor would announce fresh steps to shore up confidence in the financial markets. I know for sure there is hardly anything RBI Governor D. Subbarao can do to protect the rupee from depreciating further but then nobody can rule out anything when a situation is as alarming as it has turned out for the Indian currency in the last two weeks. All eyes are now again on Subbarao to pull a rabbit out of the hat. To be fair to the bureaucrat-turned-central banker --- and a non-economist --- there is absolutely nothing left in his armoury to arrest the rupee slide against the US dollar in view of weak fundamentals back home and a strong dollar.......
