NEW DELHI – The rupee's real effective exchange rate index, based on a basket of 40 currencies in terms of trade-based weights, was 97.51 in November, unchanged from October, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India Monday. The rate had declined to a seven-year low of 97.40 in September.

"In real effective terms, the Indian rupee remained stable in November, as depreciation of the INR in nominal effective terms was offset by higher prices in India vis--vis its major trading partners," the RBI staff said in the state of the economy article.

The rupee fell 0.8% against the dollar in November. The dollar index, which measures the strength of the dollar against six major currencies, fell 0.2% last month. 

The 40-currency basket includes currencies of Angola, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, the European Union, Ghana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Russia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the UK, the US, and Vietnam.  End
