What is the Tapper Tantrum Playbook?
When the Federal Reserve Bank of America, the central bank, stops injecting money into the market, then foreign investors stop injecting money into countries like India. Due to which the rupee becomes weak, stock market falls, dollar becomes expensive, economic pressure is created on India. Such a situation had arisen in the year 2013, when RBI had adopted the ‘Tapper Tantrum Playbook’ policy. In this, RBI maintains the rupee by selling dollars and increases interest rates.
Same strategy was adopted in 2013 also
Let us tell you that the government had adopted the same strategy in the year 2013 also. At that time, when the country was facing economic crisis, the rupee was managed by selling dollars in the country with the help of Tapper Tantrum Playbook. Now RBI will sell its dollars under this scheme so that there is no shortage of dollars and the rupee does not fall.
