Indian Rupee Crashes to All Time Low - Joe Blogs



The Indian Rupee has just fallen to a new all-time low… and today we’re digging into exactly why the currency is crashing, what’s driving the sell-off, and what it means for the Indian economy.

In this video, I explain the key reasons behind the rupee’s continued slide — from weak foreign inflows and a surging US dollar, to India’s heavy dependence on imported oil and the widening trade deficit. I also look at the impact of the falling rupee on ordinary consumers, businesses, inflation, and India’s future growth.

We’ll break down who wins, who loses, why inflation is still falling despite the weaker currency, and whether India’s push for rupee-based trade settlements is actually working. And critically, we explore how many countries are willing to accept Indian rupees for trade… and where India still needs US dollars to keep the economy running.

The rupee hitting a record low is more than a currency story — it’s a signal of the pressures India is facing in a volatile global economy. This video gives you the full picture.

Maybe he and Putin will decide to support more scam centers for kickbacks. A match made in hell.

That will make their offshoring services even more competitive for a little while until 80% get replaced with AI.
