Selling of securities by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in Indian capital market will lead to fall in the supply of foreign currency in the economy. This situation might lead to ecess demand of foreign currency at the prevailing foreign exchange rate.
As a result, a new euilibrium rate of foreign exchange will be determined which will be higher than the prevailing foreign exchange rate, leading to depreciation of domestic currency.
