Exporters worried over rising rupee

Exporters body Fieo today warned that the continuing rise of the rupee may dent the recent robustness in exports.
A stronger rupee is definitely good for the economy as it reflects the inherent strength of the economy but we strongly feel that some support to exports is the need of the hour," Fieo president Ganesh Kumar Gupta said.
The 6-7 per cent rise in the rupee against the dollar during the past two months has come as setback for exports. It not only reduces exporters' competitiveness in international market but also impacts the overall exports, he added.
