The Indian rupee has been pegged to both the British pound and the U.S. dollar in the past, but currently has a freely floating exchange rate. India’s neighboring countries, Nepal and Bhutan, are both pegged to the rupee. Based on market exchange rates, the Indian economy is about the tenth-largest in the world.
