Why the Crash?

Mike, a foreign investor, saw India’s booming economy and decided to invest $10,000 when the exchange rate was ₹80 per $1. His money became ₹8,00,000, and he bought Indian stocks. A year later, his investment grew by 15%, reaching ₹9,20,000. He paid ₹12,000 in taxes, leaving him with ₹9,08,000.

The Story of Mike, the Foreign Investor

However, when Mike converted his money back to dollars, the exchange rate had fallen to ₹90 per $1. His ₹9,08,000 now gave him just $10,088—a mere 0.88% gain, despite a 15% market return. He could have earned more with a simple 5% bond in his home country! Frustrated, Mike sold his Indian stocks and left the market. Many foreign investors are doing the same.
