The Indian rupee has continued its downward slide of the past few days and hit an all-time low against the dollar in early trade on Wednesday. 在过去的几天中,印度卢比持续贬值,在周三的早盘交易中卢比对美元的汇率降至历史最低点。 The Indian currency fell to 55.82 rupees against the US dollar, down from 55.39 on Tuesday. The slide comes amid concerns that slowing growth and a high rate of inflation may hurt India's economy. Analysts1 said worries about a global economic slowdown had fanned those fears further. The Indian rupee has been dropping against the US dollar since August last year, falling by almost 26% against the US currency since then. Various reports have suggested that India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, could intervene(干涉,调停) by selling dollars via state-run banks to arrest any further falls. Exporter rules On Tuesday, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said that the government was taking a number of steps to arrest the volatility2(挥发性,易变) in the foreign exchange market and boost the rupee. Earlier this month, the central bank asked exporters to convert 50% of their foreign exchange holdings into Indian rupees in an attempt to prop3 up the currency. It also said that exporters would only be allowed to buy foreign currency after using up all of the foreign exchange holdings in their accounts. However, these attempts have so far not been able to stem the rupee's fall. 点击收听单词发音
