16. Stock market

The FII’s profit from investing in emerging financial stock markets, say the
Indian stock Exchange. If the cap on FII is high then they can bring in lot of
funds in the countries stock markets and thus have great influence on the
way the stock markets behaves, going up or down. The FII buying pushes the
stocks up and their selling shows the stock market the downward path. So
this is how influencing FII can be, as is seen in the present downtrend of the
stock markets in India courtesy heavy FII selling.
Exchange Rates

The simple way of understanding is through Demand and Supply. If say US
imports from India it is creating a demand for Rupee thus the Indian rupee
appreciates w.r.t the dollar. If India imports then the dollar appreciates w.r.t
the Indian rupee.

18.  Exports & Imports
The FII lead to appreciation of the currency, they lead to the exports industry
becoming uncompetitive due to the appreciation of the rupee. For e.g. if 1 USD =
Rs.40 and a soap costs 1 USD. Now when the rupee appreciates 1 USD = Rs. 20, I
will have to sell the same soap to the US for 2 US Dollars in order to sustain the
same income that I have been making i.e. Rs.40. Thus excess FII fund inflow in the
country can also make a negative impact on the economy of the country.
 Inflation
The huge amount of FII fund inflow into the country creates a lot of demand for
rupee, and the RBI pumps the amount of Rupee in the market as a result of
demand created by the FII’s. This situation could lead to excess liquidity
Thus there should be a limit to the FII inflow in the country.
