Who fixes the value of the currency exchange rate for Indian Rupees (INR) to Euros (EUR)?

The currency exchange rate of INR to EUR is fixed by the market demand and supply forces. When a currency has high demand than its supply in the international market, it is scarce. The scarcity increases its value compared to other currencies. In contrast, if the demand is lower compared to the supply, its value falls.

Apart from demand and supply, inflation, interest rates, and government policies also influence currency exchange rates. In India, the Reserve bank of India (RBI) controls the foreign exchange reserves and monitors the exchange rates. If RBI wants to increase the value of Rupee, it can buy back its Rupee from the market using foreign currency. Alternatively, it can depreciate the value of the Rupee by buying back foreign currency from the market.

Why should I convert INR to EUR in India itself?

Converting Indian currency to Euros in India is better for several reasons. First, you will get a better exchange rate in India than in Europe. Second, you can carry only Rs 25,000 in cash to a foreign country. Europe is quite expensive, and you will exhaust the Rs 25,000 in no time. Then you will have to rely on debit and credit cards to get more Euros. The charges of debit and credit cards are as high as 5% per transaction, and you will be paying extra to get Euros. Hence to avoid this hassle, it is better to convert Indian rupees to Euros in India itself.

You can take some amount in cash and load the rest into a prepaid forex card. All banks and money exchangers offer prepaid cards and also give Euros in cash. All you have to do is find a bank or money exchanger offering the best exchange rate.

Euro is the second most traded currency in the world after the US Dollar and is used by over 314 million people every day. Moreover, over 60 countries have directly or indirectly linked their currency to the Euro.

The European Central Bank (ECB) sets the monetary policy for the Euro area and oversees the monetary policy of the entire continent. It also has greater independence than other central banks to make independent decisions which keep the Euro strong. Apart from this, the ECB can also strengthen the international role of the Euro by promoting the use of the Euro in its partner countries and increasing Euro-denominated trade.

Can India change its currency from INR to EURO?

No, India cannot change its currency from INR to Euro. This is because India is not a part of the Eurozone. Moreover, the Indian Rupee is India's domestic currency, and its purchasing power determines its value. Even if India changed its currency to Euros, its value would still be the same as the Rupee. By changing the currency, India cannot change its economic factors. The only thing that might change is its name, like the Australian Dollar.
