P : Provisional. Note : 1. The indices of REER are recalculated from April 1994 onwards using the new Wholesale Price Index (WPI) series (Base:1993-94 = 100). 2. The REER and NEER indices are estimated using the common price index and the exchange rate for the Euro, thus representing 31 countries and the Euro area w.e.f. 01.03.2002. 3. Under the Liberalised Exchange Rate Management System (LERMS), a dual exchange rate structure characterised by the co-existence of the official exchange rate and the market (FEDAI) rate remained in operation from March 1, 1992 to February 28, 1993.
