9167013618 | Landline: 022-26820634 | research@finrex.in | www.finrex.in | Follow us: @finrextreasury How will the Rupee Based Trade Work? When countries import and export goods and services, they have to make payments in a foreign currency. Since the US Dollar is the world’s reserve currency, most of these transactions are entered into US dollars.
For example, if an Indian buyer enters into a transaction with a seller from Germany, the Indian buyer has to first convert his Rupees into US dollars. The seller will receive those dollars which will then be converted into Euros.
This is where trade settlement in Rupees comes in – instead of paying and receiving US dollars, the invoice will be made in Indian Rupees if the counterparty has a Special Vostro account in Rupee .
Foreign banks will have to open Special Vostro accounts in Rupee in India, and whenever exports or imports take place, that account will be debited or credited.
Indian importers will make payments in rupees, to be credited to the Vostro account of the correspondent bank of the partner country.
Indian exporters will be paid the export proceeds in rupees from the balances in Spl Vostro A/c<br>

Before allowing any such receipt of advance payment against exports, Indian Banks shall ensure that available funds in these accounts are first used towards payment obligations arising out of already executed export orders / export payments in the pipeline.

9167013618 | Landline: 022-26820634 | research@finrex.in | www.finrex.in | Follow us: @finrextreasury RBI Circular Use of Surplus Balance: The Rupee surplus balance held may be used for permissible capital and current account transactions in accordance with mutual agreement.

Payments for projects and investments.
Export/Import advance flow management

9167013618 | Landline: 022-26820634 | research@finrex.in | www.finrex.in | Follow us: @finrextreasury Why does the RBI want to settle payments in Rupees? Reduce India’s dependency on US dollars.
Trade with Sanctioned Countries
Reduce Conversion expenses
Reduce the risk of Foreign exchange
Benefit the country in the long-term, this decision won’t have a considerable short-term impact
India runs a trade deficit, settling trades in rupees will also save dollar outflows
Overcome the SWIFT payments system dependency<br>
slide23. Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP
9167013618 | Landline: 022-26820634 | research@finrex.in | www.finrex.in | Follow us: @finrextreasury Three issues deserve prominent attention International trade transactions to be settled in Indian rupee needs to be analysed from bilateral trade equilibrium to understand their potential scope and scale.
For example, in 2021, India’s exports to Russia were at $3.3 billion while its imports from Russia were at $6.6 billion. This means that international trade settlement in rupee can happen up to $3.3 billion where exports and imports are equal. Beyond this point, international trade settlement in rupee can get challenging.
India’s efforts to promote invoicing in Indian rupee and acceptance of exchange with various countries is a herculean task. In the prevailing global trade protectionism and geopolitical rivalries, each country wants to promote exports and reduce imports.
It has another angle as well. Invoicing in Indian Rupee and not depending on US Dollar may upset India’s relationship with the US.
It may also have an indirect impact on services sector for which we are dependent on developed markets like the US and Europe.
Depreciation in local currency and inflation put together add substantial burden, which may make imports unviable even if rupee is used as a currency of invoicing.
In Turkey, the depreciation of the local currency against dollar is almost 93.53 per cent. In such a situation, do we expect Turkey to import more from India even if we decide to have exchange rate fixed with Turkey (Indian Rupee and Turkish Lira without bringing US Dollar in the picture)?<br>
