IMPACT OF INFLATION IN THE UNITED STATES ON INDIA
- IMPORTED INFLATION: Price rise in global economies results in imported inflation. Whatever India buys from the US will be costly comparatively and will further induce inflation.
- CONTRACTIONARY MONETARY POLICY: An increase in inflation generally leads to the central bank using contractionary policies which will decrease consumption, leading to fewer exports in India.
- HIGH COST OF BORROWING: Indian investors who borrow funds from overseas markets owing to lower interest rates will find it higher due to contractionary monetary policy which makes lending dearer.
- IMPACT ON REMITTANCES: An increase in inflation could also affect in remittance supply, given the fact the U.S. is one of the top countries from which India receives remittances.
