19 February 2008 Regardless of the size, if the costs of rupee intervention are present, and there are no benefits, then one should let the rupee appreciate. The presumed benefits of an "undervalued" rupee are higher growth of exports, possibly higher employment, and possibly higher GDP growth.

19 February 2008 The level of reserve in yr 2000 was $41 bn for India and $172 bn for China.
