The U.S. Federal Reserve System's choice to taper its quantitative easing program triggered substantial capital outflows from India, and the rupee depreciated by 13.7 per cent from June to August of 2013.

Expectations were high for an action that is appropriate from the bank as room for policy maneuverability appeared limited.
