New Delhi (HRNW): According to global financial magazine Bloomberg, the Indian rupee has become one of Asia’s weakest and worst-performing currencies in 2025. The report attributes the decline to poor economic management and weakening investor confidence.
While currencies of Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand have strengthened, the Indian rupee continues to slide. Bloomberg stated that rising U.S. tariffs, the withdrawal of foreign investors, and India’s proposed hike in visa program fees to USD 100,000 have significantly damaged investor sentiment.
Foreign investors have withdrawn more than USD 16 Billion from the Indian stock market this year alone, the report revealed. Despite spending over USD 30 Billion in foreign reserves since July, the Reserve Bank of India has failed to stabilize the rupee.
The report further noted that India’s widening current account deficit has made imports increasingly expensive, adding pressure on the rupee. Analysts say Prime Minister Modi’s reckless economic policies and anti-people decisions have placed India among the weakest economies in the region.
