The Bank of Japan kept interest rates near zero and announced plans to purchase government bonds and other assets to inject liquidity into the economy and stabilize prices. This stimulus could cause the yen to weaken against other currencies. For India, it means cheaper borrowing costs but also external pressures like inflation that may force the Reserve Bank of India to continue raising interest rates to neutralize rising liquidity. Gold prices rose to record highs in international and domestic Indian markets as stimulus measures weakened the dollar and increased safe-haven demand for gold.

Recent fluctuations have had a devastating impact on Japanese firms, but analysts expect the yen to strengthen further in the near future before recovering slightly by year's end.

The Greek election results were inconclusive as the extreme left party failed to win a majority. However, the other two main parties can form a coalition government. There is a consensus that Greece wants to remain in the eurozone, though its situation remains uncertain. In India, the RBI left interest rates unchanged due to concerns about inflation, despite expectations of a rate cut to boost the economy. In the US, the Fed will continue quantitative easing through the end of the year by adjusting its bond portfolio rather than purchasing new bonds.
US FED TAPERING
The document discusses the Federal Reserve's tapering of quantitative easing and its effects on the Indian economy. It explains that tapering refers to the Fed reducing its bond buying program. While initial tapering talk caused market volatility, India was better prepared for the actual tapering in December 2013 due to measures like raising foreign currency reserves. The tapering had a moderate negative effect on Indian markets, but further tapering could pose more risks if not managed properly.
Depreciation of Rupee in the past 2 Months
The Indian rupee has depreciated 15% against the US dollar over the past two months, hitting an all-time low of 64.11 rupees to the dollar in early August. This depreciation has negatively impacted asset classes in India like stocks, bonds, and real estate. While the falling rupee benefits exporters and IT companies, it hurts importers and increases inflation. The decline is largely due to increased fiscal deficit, higher crude prices, and the US Federal Reserve's plans to taper quantitative easing measures, which led to foreign institutional investors withdrawing funds from India. The RBI has taken steps to curb volatility by increasing restrictions on gold imports and absorbing rupee liquidity from banks.

Why the rupee is falling against the dollar
The rupee has been falling sharply against the dollar due to increased demand for dollars from importers to pay for higher crude oil prices and flight of foreign funds from India. Foreign investors have been pulling money out of emerging markets like India to reinvest in the bailed out US economy. Additionally, India's rising trade deficit and inflation have contributed to the falling value of the rupee. While a lower rupee value could boost exports, continued declines may increase costs for foreign debt and discourage foreign investment in India. The RBI has intervened in the forex market and raised interest rates on foreign currency deposits to stabilize the rupee.

India Public Affairs Round-up - Issue 2
The Indian rupee’s recent roller-coaster ride has impacted virtually every section of society. It has hit the country’s finances, eroded investor confidence, pushed down stock indices, pumped up fuel prices and, in turn, those of essentials.
The rupee’s slide is symptomatic of the concerns about the India story. Months of policy paralysis, political churn and social standoffs have taken their toll.

Error and trial
1) Significant yen weakness and massive expansion of the Bank of Japan's balance sheet provide strong earnings support for Japanese equities in 2015 and beyond 2016.
2) Slow but accelerating inflation in Japan means Japanese government bond yields can only move upward over the next 12 months.
3) The Bank of Japan's large-scale purchases of assets like equities and government bonds are intended to stimulate the Japanese economy and inflation, but also risk continued downward pressure on the yen.
The IMF’s latest forecasts for global growth in 2013
1) Many emerging markets are entering a difficult period of weaker growth, capital outflows, and tighter monetary policy as expectations of reduced US monetary stimulus have increased volatility in EM currencies, bonds, and stock markets since May 2013.
2) The immediate catalyst is expectations that the US Federal Reserve will taper its quantitative easing program in 2014, raising US interest rates and making EM assets less attractive, but the broader policy direction of reduced global monetary stimulus will continue pressuring EMs.
3) In response to capital flight, major EMs like Brazil, Indonesia, India, and Turkey have recently raised interest rates, but tighter monetary policy will further weaken EM growth even as some countries make reforms to attract capital inflows
