India’s Gold Story - why do we need to cut down on imports
Gold Monetization Scheme
India is obsessed with gold. India doesn’t mine a lot of gold. Instead, we import it from other countries. You can’t buy gold from foreign countries using rupees. You have to pay for it with the dollar. So when there’s a disproportionate demand for gold, there is a disproportionate demand for the dollar.
The value of the dollar rises and the value of rupee tumbles. And as the rupee loses its value it becomes more expensive for us to import other stuff, like oil. Unlike Gold, we actually need oil. So, it makes sense for us to cut down on gold imports.
