The recent recovery comes on the heels of a rise in foreign exchange reserves after cash strapped country received fresh loans from Beijing and reserves are now sufficient enough to cover almost a month of imports.
Earlier this week, the rupee remained at the receiving end against the greenback, closing with a decline of Rs3.18. In recent times, the confidence of investors was dented by an unexpected delay in bailout funds from International Monetary Fund (IMF).
