High capital flow boosts the chances of growth of economy. The positive global macroeconomic signs are true symbolic representation of rise of capital flow in any economy. With globalization, the interdependence of economies has been increased. The global events have significant impact on the capital flow of the economies. The financial recession of 2008 dent the capital inflow in all the major economies across the globe. With globalization, the financial flow has been inclined developed countries to developing countries and under developed countries. The manifold rise has been reported in capital flows in many developing economies. Kohli (2203) supports the fact that increase in capital flow to any economy boost its liquidity, stock market growth and growth prospects of corporate. Carderelli et al (2010) analyzed that capital flow has significant effect upon the economic sectors like real estate, financial sector and manufacturing sectors. Dua and Sen (2013) documents the http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 89 editor@iaeme.com
Dr. Pritpal Singh Bhullar and Manika Dhameja dependency between capital flow and several macro economic variables like current account deficit, liquidity, inflation and money supply. Since last one decade, India has been emerged as a global destination for investment. Major global investors have been attracted to India for their bulk investment as Indian market has sent positive sentiments to the global investors. The countries maintain their foreign exchange reserves to meet their international short term and long term payment obligations. These obligations consists of sovereign debt, import financing, commercial debt, for intervention in the foreign currency markets during periods of volatility, besides helping to boost the confidence of the market in the ability of a country to meet its external obligations and to absorb any unforseen external shocks, contingencies or unexpected capital movements. Foreign exchange reserve comprises of Foreign Currency Assets, Gold and SDR (Special Drawing Rights) and Reserve Tranch Position in which each member is allocated a special quota by IMF. These include sovereign bonds, treasury bills and short-term deposits in top-rated global banks besides cash accounts. with the change in the patterns of global trade and other developments including several currency crises. Foreign exchange reserves acts as catalyst in maintaining stability of macro-economy. The accumulation of foreign exchange reserve build the strong platform for enhancing the control of economy of any country, rise in efficiency in currency intervention and also avoids the probability of occurring financial crisis and national and international level. The rapid fluctuations in foreign exchange reserve indicates the weak foreign trade activities and economic policies. Reza, Ostry and Sheehy (2011) quote that foreign exchange reserve acts as external assets that assists in maintaining Balance of Payments (BOP) and controlling exchange rate with other countries. The exchange rate intervention also have significant effect upon the foreign exchange reserve of any country. Kasman and Ayman (2008) examines short term and long term unidirectional flow of causality from foreign exchange rate to real exchange rate as well as from nominal exchange rate to foreign exchange reserve. 2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Emmanuel (2013) study the effect of foreign exchange reserve on exchange rate in Nigeria and finds that foreign exchange reserve has significant effect upon the exchange rate of Nigeria. Hoshikawa (2012) analyzed the existence of long term rerelationship between foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate. Romero (2011) perform a comparative analysis of factors affecting foreign exchange reserve on India and China and find that an inverse relationship between exchange rate and foreign reserve. They find that with rise in exchange rate the foreign exchange reserve falls down. Prasad and Raju (2010) find an inverse relationship between foreign exchange international reserve and exchange rate. They explore that an inverse relation between foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate when the currency of home country depreciates. Kasman and Ayan (2008) study the relationship between foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate in Turkey and finds that long run relationship exist between them. Elhiraika and Ndikumana (2007) examine that countries maintain foreign exchange reserve to lower the inflation and foreign exchange rate in home country. Bachhante et al. (2006) confirms the harmful effect of volatile exchange rate and foreign exchange reserve on the economic growth of any economy. Dua and Sen (2006) analyse empirically from financial year 1993 to financial year 2004 and finds that Cointegration exist between capital flow level, volatility in capital flow and real exchange rate. Aizenman and Lee (2005) confirms that countries reserve foreign exchange reserve to maintain low exchange rate and enhance economic growth 3. OBJECTIVES OF STUDY The present study is aimed at fulfil the following objectives from Indian prospective: • To analyze the existence of long run equilibrium between foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate • To analyze the existence of causal relationship between foreign exchange reserve and exchange ratio 4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY To achieve the objectives stated in the present research paper, statistical techniques have been devised. Causal relationship between foreign exchange reserve and exchange reserve has been measured by Unit http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 90 editor@iaeme.com
Empirical Analysis of Long Run Equilibrium between Exchange Rate and Foreign Exchange Reserve – An Indian Perspective Root Test, Johansson Co -integration Test and Vector Auto Regression (VAR) test. E-views Statistical software has been used to devised these tests for the statistical interference. Foreign exchange reserve data and exchange rate have been used as the variables. The data of Indian foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate from FY 2005 to FY 2016 has been collected from the official website of Reserve Bank of India. The influence of foreign exchange reserve and exchange rate has been examined by the regression analysis by applying SPSS software. 5. HYPOTHESIS • Hypothesis I – A long run relationship does not exist between foreign exchange reserve and foreign exchange rate • Hypothesis II – Foreign Exchange Reserve has no significant affect on Exchange rate. 6. DATA ANALYSIS 6.1. Unit Root Test at Levels (Augmented Dickey - Fuller Test) Unit Root Test has been performed to analyze whether the data is stationary of not.

Dr. Pritpal Singh Bhullar and Manika Dhameja The above statistics shows that series is not stationary in both the cases but it become stationary after taking first difference. The p value for both the variables becomes lower than 0.05 that shows the stationarity of series. 6.3. Johansen Juselius (J-J) Cointegration Test Johansen and Juselius Cointegration test (1990) has been performed to analyze the long run relationship between variables Table 3 J-J Cointegration Test Trace Max-Eigen Critical Values (5% ) Hypothesized No. p - Values of CEs Trace Max - Statistics Statistics Trace Max-Eigen Eigen r=0 13.30554 11.79033 15.49471 14.26460 0.1041 0.1188 r≤1 1.515210 1.515210 3.841466 3.841466 0.2183 0.2183 The above Trace test statistics and Max – Eigen statistics shows that no Cointegration exists between the variables as the p values in both the cases is higher than 0.05. Higher the p – values more than its significant vale (5%) leads to rejection of null hypothesis at this level. The non - existence of Cointegration supports the existence of long run equilibrium in both the variables. 6.4.

Dr. Pritpal Singh Bhullar and Manika Dhameja The above graphs shows that there foreign exchange reserve affects the exchange rate of country. The statistics depit in the above model that foreign exchange reserve affects 35.3% to the exchange rate of Indian Economy. Regression Equation = + = 0.353 ∗ + 2.953 9. CONCLUSION We observe that there is a stable long run relationship between Exchange Rate and Foreign Exchange Reserve. The result of our study produces similar result with previous studies Hoshikawa (2012). The present study also explores the effect of foreign exchange reserve on the exchange rate of country. This finding also similar with Prasad and Raju (2010) and Aizenman and Lee (2005). The findings of the present study helps in providing the firm roots to the previous studies and provide guidelines to the future researchers to consider the influence of other variables.
