India's Forex Reserves Rise Near $693 Billion Amid Strong FCNR(B) Inflows
India's foreign exchange reserves rose to a near three-month high of $692.9 billion as of July 31, driven largely by robust inflows under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) or FCNR(B) deposit scheme. The RBI has no plans to prematurely end this scheme, which has mobilized over $36 billion since June, supporting the rupee and strengthening India's external position. The central bank expects continued healthy inflows and a healthy balance of payments surplus in the current financial year, while managing liquidity impacts and maintaining market-determined exchange rates.
