Student Reflections:

The clock chimed 12:30 pm. The Economics students of grade 9, IGCSE were seated in a classroom with curiosity and eagerness for a much-awaited guest lecture by Mr. Anirudh Kamani.

Our guest speaker briefed us on few topics of Macroeconomics, for example, FDI, Gross Domestic Product, Growth, Money Supply, Inflation, Interest Rates, Exchange Rates, Current Account, Capital Account, Fiscal Deficit and related topics.

The speech continued onto the exchange rate fluctuations and how India’s economy has been since 1992. He portrayed on a graph, the INR journey from 1992 till date and explained the reasons for the fluctuations and the strategies used by RBI. He went on explaining the types of exchange rates. All of us really gained a lot of enriching knowledge and we hope that future Economics students get the privilege of attending an encouraging and inspiring session like we did.

We thank Ms. Siby Gladis, our Economics teacher for organising such an attention-grabbing and interactive session.
