The Indian Rupee – USD futures contract is part of a key initiative of the DGCX, giving access to currencies that are relevant to the region. India is one of UAE’s largest trade partners and Non Resident Indians (NRIs) contribute over 30% of the total population of the UAE.
India’s economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and is consistently ranked highly in terms of GDP growth. The Indian Rupee liquidity pool has attracted the attention of numerous global entities to hedge their Indian Rupee risk offshore. This has enabled the DGCX to become the largest global liquidity pool in Indian Rupee futures and options. The smaller sized contract is aimed at corporations looking at more precise hedging requirements as well as the retail community.
