The Economic Survey for 2019 is out today and can be accessed here: Economic Survey

I was quite keen to see what the new CEA Krishnamurthy Subramanian comes up with,and I must say that at a quick glance, I am quite disappointed with the quality of analysis and representation of data/findings.

For example, look at the chart below. This chart could have been represented better in a 100 different ways than how it is in the survey

Thank you dada .This is indeed a great help. Dada is there any mean that one can search old presentation of CFA societies ?

The question is: why are returns in dollar terms and rupee terms so significantly different? The reason lies in the value of the rupee against the dollar. When gold price peaked in dollars, one dollar was worth around ₹46. Now, it’s close to ₹69, having depreciated 50% in value since then. During the same period, gold in dollar terms is down more than 25%. Given that the rupee has depreciated more against the dollar than the fall in gold price in dollar terms, the Indian investor has made money.
