QuestionsMoney-ShoppingIs it better to have a foreign currency bank account?
SourCornflakes asked 8 months ago

I was wondering if it's financially sound to have a savings MCB account in EUR or USD, considering that that MUR will probably continue to devaluate. Will I preserve the value of my savings in this way?

25% in USD and 10% in EURO as a safety net, the rest in MUR. That’s my strategy.

With the current never-ending depreciation of the MRU Rupee, it’s best to have a diverse portfolio of your savings in bank accounts, hold 20% usd , 35 % gbp , 10 % euros and the rest 35% in Rupees for your basic needs.

Try holding diverse foreign currencies so that any negative exposure in one currency can be offset by a positive one in another currency

You can always convert back the foreign currency to rupees again should any financial emergency arise.

Keep all your savings in usd or eur as 2nd choice.
