Talking to the business community, the veteran business leader said that rupee is gaining strength but it has not resulted in reduction in prices.The former minister noted that exports have jumped by almost five percent to 9.54 billion during July-November but it is insignificant despite the repeated reduction in the value of rupee and relaxations to the export industry.The export situation is not satisfactory which may result in a missed target set at 26 billion Dollars however attention to tax and refund issues can make a change.
